history

Okrouhlá belonged to the Premonstratensian monastery Mühlhausen probably since the 13th century . The monastery was destroyed by the Hussites on April 23, 1420 , and all documents were lost. Then the Klingenberg burgrave Jan Hájek von Hodětín struck the orphaned monastery property of the royal rule Klingenberg. After the Hussites besieged Klingenberg Castle in 1430, King Sigismund pledged the rule to Ulrich II von Rosenberg in 1431 because he feared that his burgrave Kunata Kapléř would soon overflow to the rebels. Heinrich V von Rosenberg , who had taken over the indebted rule in 1472, sold a quarter of the properties of the House of Rosenberg on September 28, 1473 , including the Klingenberger Pfand, to his cousin Bohuslav V von Schwanberg .

The first written mention of Okrouhlá comes from the year 1488. After Christoph von Schwanberg died in 1534, the Klingenberg property was divided in 1540, with Okrouhlá being added to the Bechin rule . Heinrich von Schwanberg reunited the village with Klingenberg in 1549. In 1575 Christoph von Schwanberg bought the Lordship of Klingenberg and Mühlhausen from the Hofkammer on Worlik and connected them with Worlik. In the same year he pledged Mühlhausen to Jan Bernard Hodějovský von Hodějov. After the Battle of White Mountain , the goods of the Hodějovský von Hodějov were confiscated and the rule of Mühlhausen was transferred to the Strahov Monastery in 1622 , whose abbot Kaspar von Questenberg rebuilt a monastery in Mühlhausen the following year .

The abbot of Strahov, Hieronymus Hirnheim, had the dilapidated Meierhof restored in 1675. In 1785 the monastery was abolished as part of the Josephine reforms . In 1840 Wokrauhla consisted of 19 houses with 198 inhabitants. There was an inn in the village. The stately hunter's house Ostrow ( Ostrov ) belonged to Wokrauhla . The parish was Sepekow . The monastery of Mühlhausen remained in the possession of the Strahov Monastery until 1848.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Okrouhlá / Wokrauhla 1850 a district of the municipality Líšnice in the district and the district court Milevsko. On November 20, 1889, the Tábor - Milevsko - Písek - Ražice railway began traffic, but Okrouhlá never received a station. In May 1893 Okrouhlá broke away from Líšnice and formed its own municipality. After the Okres Milevsko was abolished, Okrouhlá was assigned to the Okres Písek in late 1960 and incorporated into Branice in 1961 . Okrouhlá broke away from Branice on January 1, 1993 and formed its own community.
