The place was in the district of Queen Swatawa and its name, which corresponds to the Czech name for elbow , was derived from a sharp bend in the road. The area flowed into the chapter established by Swatawa on the Vyšehrad . The Loket belonging to the Kraloniczer benefices was first documented in 1352 in the confirmation of ownership by Charles IV . Loket was administered by canons until 1418 and in 1437 the knight Oldřich Močihub on Dolní Kralovice was given the place by Emperor Sigismund . In 1550 the St. Vitus Cathedral Chapter in Prague owned the village. The Order of Malta in Horní Kralovice acquired Loket in 1571 and held the property until the abolition of patrimonial in 1848.
