history

Several preserved Iron Age barrows in the local area testify to prehistoric settlement. In the 12th century there was probably a fortress here; the first written mention of the parish of Mohiln dates back to 1234. In the years 1237–1349 Mohelno was a royal estate and the seat of a burgrave. In 1368 it passed into noble ownership. In 1417 King Sigismund granted the town the right to coat of arms; At that time the landlord was Peter von Mohelno. During the Hussite Wars , the place was sacked and the fortress destroyed. To this day, extensive cellars have been preserved under many of the houses, which were used as hiding places. They presumably come from this time. In 1512 the town was devastated by fire. 1527 Mohelno was added to the rule Náměšť nad Oslavou . 1535 freed Wenceslaus the Elder Ä. from Lomnitz the town of Mohelno and the villages Kramolin , Kradrub , Popuwka and Lhanitz from the seizure liability . Joseph Philipp Graf von Werdenberg granted the town a free wine bar in 1631 with the obligation to dispense 20 buckets for the rulers. In 1752 the Counts Haugwitz acquired the county of Namiescht . On June 28, 1835, a large fire destroyed the rectory, the church and large parts of the market. Mohelno had privileges for two annual markets and one weekly market .

In 1842, the Mohelno market in the Znojmo district consisted of 147 houses in which 846 people lived. The parish, the All Saints Church and the school were under lordly patronage. In the village there was also a stately summer residence, a large farmyard with an apartment for the manager, a brandy house, a town hall and two inns. The paper mill and the grinder on the Iglawa were aside . Mohelno was the pastor for Lhanitz, Kraderub , Kramolin and Senohrad . Mohelno remained subordinate to the Fideikommissgrafschaft Namiescht until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial Mohelno formed from 1849 with the district Lhánice a market town in the judicial district of Namiest . From 1869 the market belonged to the Trebitsch district. In 1888 Kuroslepy became independent. In 1890 Lhánice broke up and formed its own community. In the 1921 census, there were 1,403 people living in the 238 houses of the Minor town, including 1,396 Czechs. Between 1948 and 1960 the community was assigned to the Okres Velká Bíteš and came back to the Okres Třebíč after its dissolution. Between 1980 and 1992 Lhánice was incorporated again. On April 12, 2007 the place was given the status of a městys again.
