history

Městec was probably created as a market place at the end of the 13th century by the Cistercian monastery Heiligenfeld at a ford through the Goldbach. After the destruction of the monastery in 1420 by the Orbites under Aleš Vřešťovský von Riesenburg, various nobles seized the monastery property during the Hussite Wars , and in 1437 King Sigismund transferred it to Georg Berka von Dubá auf Wiesenburg . King Ladislaus Jagiello granted Nikolaus the Elder in 1499. J. Trčka von Lípa the replacement of the Heiligenfeld monastery; so Městec was connected to the Opočno rule together with the other monastery villages .

In 1598 there were 6 hubs 11 rods of arable land in the land register for Městec ; the market consisted of 13 properties, four inns authorized to sell beer and a butcher's shop. After the death of Jan Rudolf Trčka von Lípa , the Opočno domain was confiscated by King Ferdinand II and pledged to the brothers Hieronymus and Rudolf von Colloredo-Waldsee in 1635 . Městec was still called a town. The Thirty Years War, famines and fires lead to the complete decline of the town. Městec was parish in Hoch Augezd until the Thirty Years War and was then added to the Hohenbruck parish . In the decade list of the parish Hohenbruck 1700 twelve tenth person derives Městec are listed in. In 1786 the village was attached to the district local church Hoch Augezd. In 1789 the Opočno rule fell to the Counts Colloredo- Mannsfeld, who held it until the middle of the 19th century.

In 1836 the village of Miestetz or Městec in the Königgrätzer Kreis consisted of 24 houses in which 140 people, including 45 Protestants, lived. The Břekel Mill, located on the other side of the Diedina on the Gilowitz stream, was inscribed. The Catholic parish was Hoch-Augezd, the Protestant pastorate was in a monastery . Until the middle of the 19th century the village remained subject to the Opochno rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Městec formed from 1849 a municipality in the judicial district of Opočno . From 1868 the community belonged to the Neustadt an der Mettau district . In 1875 the Chotzen – Halbstadt railway was opened. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1887. After a village school was established in Očelice in 1893, the children from Městec were retrained there; previously the Protestant children were educated in Klášter nad Dědinou and the Catholic children in Vysoký Újezd. In 1925 the village was electrified.

In 1949 Městec was assigned to the Okres Dobruška. The founding of the JZD Městec took place in the 1950s, in 1960 it was merged with the JZD Očelice. In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 the Okres Dobruška was abolished and the village was assigned to the Okres Rychnov nad Kněžnou , at the same time it was incorporated into Očelice. In 1967 the listed old stone bridge over the Dědina was demolished; the concrete bridge built in its place was too light and was damaged by the flood of 23/24. Destroyed in July 1998, a new bridge was built in 1999.
