Mezholezy was first mentioned in writing in 1386, when it was owned by Heinrich Trojan von Mezholezy and on Tisová . Later the village came under the rule of Horšovský Týn and from 1539 was owned by the Lobkowitz family . Its inhabitants lived from agriculture and fishing. From the year 1587 it is recorded that fish from Mezholezy were delivered to Bavaria. The berní rula shows 13 farms for Mizholez . The brooks coming from Siebenbergen were dammed in about 30 ponds, which were later drained in favor of pasture farming. In 1757 the place consisted of 14 farms. School lessons began in the village in 1854, before the children attended the village school in Hochsemlowitz . In 1876 a school building was built and in 1899 another school building was inaugurated. Messhals was parish after Hochsemlowitz, there was a chapel in the village. In 1903 158 people lived in the village. In 1920 the then 70 hectare Herrenteich was dammed again.

In 1930 Meßhals had 152 inhabitants. After the expulsion of the German population, Czechs were settled from Volhynia .
