history

According to legend , a castle built by a Milosta to protect against the warlike Lutschanen stood on the hill Na Rovinách in pagan times .

The first written mention of Milostin was made in 1115 in connection with the construction of the Křivoklát castle . In 1350 Charles IV donated the village to the Prague Emaus monastery . There is evidence of a parish church in Milostin since 1382 . After the outbreak of the Hussite Wars , Milostin came into the possession of the Lords of Kolowrat in 1420 . In 1523, Milostin and Pravda Castle were sold to Depolt Popel von Lobkowicz . The Bohemian crown later acquired the village and added it to the Kruschowitz estate . Later the parish of Milostin was closed and the church became a branch of Mutiowitz .

In 1685 Leopold I sold the Crown Lords of Kruschowitz and Pürglitz for 400,000 guilders to Ernst Joseph Count von Waldstein . In 1731 Johann Joseph Graf von Waldstein bequeathed both dominions to his daughter and universal heiress Maria Anna Fürstin zu Fürstenberg . In 1756 they united the Lordship of Kruschowitz and Pürglitz in a will with the Gut Nischburg to form a family entailment of 400,000 guilders. Half of the inheritance went to her sons Joseph Wenzel zu Fürstenberg-Stühlingen and Karl Egon I zu Fürstenberg, the other half to her daughters Henriette Fürstin von Thurn und Taxis and Maria Theresia zu Fürstenberg. She appointed her second-born son Karl Egon I as Fideikommisserbeer, who also acquired the shares of his siblings through compensation. After the death of Karl Egon I, his eldest son Philipp Fürst zu Fürstenberg († 1790) inherited the property in 1787, followed by his children Karl Gabriel zu Fürstenberg († 1799) and Leopoldine Princess of Hesse-Rothenburg-Rheinfels. In 1803, the female heirs renounced a family settlement in favor of the minor Karl Egon II zu Fürstenberg and the princely and landgrave houses of Fürstenberg; Joachim Egon Landgraf von Fürstenberg was appointed as administrator until he came of age in 1817.

At the beginning of the 19th century a new church was built; this was redesigned in the years 1840/41, the old sacristy and the free-standing wooden bell tower were demolished, and a church tower was added to the western front of the church. In the course of the 19th century the village, which in 1836 only had 190 inhabitants, grew strongly.

In 1843 Milostin / Milostjn consisted of 41 houses with 313 inhabitants. There was a branch church and a school in the village. The residents owned hop gardens. The parish was Mutiowitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Milostin remained subject to the Kruschowitz rulership, which belonged to the Pürglitz family fideikommiss , including the feudal estates of Wschetat and Panaschow-Augezd .

Milostín town center

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Milostín / Milostín 1850 a municipality in the county and judicial district Rakonitz. After the death of Karl Egon II zu Fürstenberg in 1854, his second-born son Max Egon I inherited the Pürglitzer estates. In 1886 there were 644 people living in Milostín. A hop processing factory was built at the beginning of the 20th century. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, 35 new single-family houses were built in Milostín. In 1929 the Fürstenberg family sold their Pürglitzer goods to the Czechoslovak state. In 1938 the church burned down and was not rebuilt. After the Munich Agreement , Povlčín was separated from Swojetin in 1938 and added to the municipality of Milostín as a district. At the same time, Milostín became a border municipality to the German Empire. After the occupation of the "remaining Czech Republic" , Milostín received the German name Gnadendorf and Povlčín the German name Wolfsgrub . Between 1939 and 1940 the population grew to 742 as a result of the relocation of the Czechs from the Sudetenland. The hop processing factory burned down in 1944. After the Second World War, a new municipal office, a school, a kindergarten and a hop kiln were built. In the headwaters near Povlčín a waterworks was built, which supplies not only Milostín but also Svojetín and Janov. As a result of the sharp decline in the population at the end of the 20th century, the school and kindergarten were closed.
