history
The first written mention of the village was in 1295 as the seat of the Hrdibor of Měcholupy. The lords of Měcholupy held the property until the middle of the 14th century. In 1332 they belonged to the Vyšehrad canon Jan Olbramovec. The parish church of St. Laurentius can be traced back to 1366. Other owners included the Sedčice Sekerka, who acquired Měcholupy at the beginning of the 16th century. During this time, the festival was created. After the Battle of the White Mountain , Dietrich Sekerka was sentenced to lose half of his property. In 1624 Johann Christoph von Paar bought the six-village Měcholupy estate from the Bohemian Chamber . Karl von Paar had the fortress converted into a castle. In 1690 Jaroslav von Vršovec bought the manor.
The subsequent owners included Rosa von Kolowrat -Libštejnský and Helena Princess Lobkowicz . In 1750 the old church was replaced by a new baroque building. An English landscape park with a greenhouse was later built near the castle along the Goldbach. In 1827 there was a newly built brewery, a wine distillery, mill, sawmill, parish school and synagogue in Michelob.
After the abolition of patrimonial Michelob / Měcholupy formed a municipality in the Saaz district from 1850 . In 1860 the brewery entrepreneur Anton Dreher acquired the Michelob Castle with the associated goods and the manorial brewery from Erwin von Neipperg . On February 4, 1871 by the Buštěhrad Railway route Prague-Chomutov inaugurated. On the night of May 25th to 26th, 1872, a night flash flood devastated the Goldbach valley after a cloudburst . Five people died in the process. In addition, most of the palace gardens were devastated and the brewery was ruined.
Anton Dreher junior had a new brewery built opposite the castle in 1872. The three-wing mighty structure with its three floors clearly exceeded the castle in size and height. At the same time he bought the goods in Liboritz . The mill was also repaired again. On June 19, 1875, Michelob was raised to the market and received a coat of arms.
At the end of the 19th century, the Dreher family had the castle increased by a second floor and the old tower removed. In 1900 Michelob had 1200 inhabitants, most of whom belonged to the German ethnic group. In 1905 the double-track railway operation began between Michelob and Trnowan. In 1924 Michelob had 1,026 inhabitants, of whom 177 were Czech. In 1927, the Michelob brewery ceased production forever. In 1930 the Michelob market had 1,061 inhabitants.
After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Saaz district until 1945 . The Czech population left Michelob because of the disadvantages that began and moved across the nearby imperial border into Czechoslovakia. In 1939, 921 people lived in Michelob. After the end of World War II, Měcholupy returned to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled . After 1948 Měcholupy lost its minority status and has been a village ever since.
