history
Milevsko developed around the Premonstratensian Monastery Milevsko , founded by Georg von Mühlhausen ( Jiři z Milevska ) in 1184 , whose monastery church "The Visitation of Mary" was built under the first abbot Gerlach ( Jarloch ). Milevsko was first mentioned as a town in 1327 in connection with the salt trade. In the 14th century the monastery reached its greatest cultural and economic boom. After the monastery was destroyed by the Hussites in 1420 , the monastery property passed to Ulrich II von Rosenberg in 1437 and to the Lords of Schwanberg in 1473 . In 1575 the monastery was closed and the monastery complex was sold to the Schwanbergers, whom Bernard d. Ä. Hodějovský von Hodějov followed. His descendants rebuilt the entire monastery complex into a mansion , but lost their possessions after the battle of the White Mountain because of their participation in the Bohemian class uprising .
In 1623 Emperor Ferdinand II handed over the former monastery properties to the Strahov Monastery , from which the Milevsko Monastery was re-established. In 1759 Milevsko was raised to the rank of city. In 1785, as part of the Josephine reforms, the monastery was again abolished, which brought the further economic and cultural development of Milevsko to a standstill. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848, the rule of Mühlhausen and its income remained in the possession of the Strahov Monastery.
At the end of the 18th century, the Jewish community built a synagogue and a cemetery. In 1889 Milevsko received a railway connection on the Písek – Tábor - Iglau line . From the beginning of the 20th century, traditional handicrafts developed, especially the production of pottery.
