history

The first news about Omlenicze comes from 1358, but that means Omlenička. At that time this village belonged to the Pořešín domain . In 1363 Ješek von Voděrad bought the village from Přibík von Pořešín and in 1364 sold it to Oldřich von Drochov. The Omlenička fortress was established under the rule of the von Drochov family, which lasted until 1465. Bathing was started in 1656 under Johann Friedrich von Weidlingen. The other owners from 1709 included Johann Anton von Vorteil, who converted the fortress into a castle, expanded the bath and built a chapel, and his successor Josef Gundakar Graf Türheim.

The existence of the southern village of Omlenice has also been documented since the middle of the 16th century, which was split up between various manors and the Poor Clare Monastery in Krumlov . Since 1590, Omlenice has largely belonged to the Omlenička manor. From 1720 the name Groß Umlowitz is documented.

In 1722 the baroque church was built in Klein Umlowitz, which was a subsidiary church of the Kaplitz parish until 1739 and was then elevated to the parish church for Groß Umlowitz, Klein Umlowitz, Hodenitz, Laschkles, Roiden, Unterberg, Wieden, Winitz, Wolluben, Wratzau and Wutschko. In 1778 Maria Dominika von Türheim sold the Klein Umlowitz estate to the Hohenfurth monastery . In 1829 a large fire destroyed Klein Umlowitz, and the church tower burned down. In 1883 the rectory and church were placed under the administration of the monastery.

Until the 20th century there was a spa in Klein Umlowitz. The iron-rich waters were used to heal stomach and intestinal diseases. In addition, the place was also considered a climatic health resort and was visited by bathers from Bohemia and Austria.

After Czechoslovakia was founded in 1918, many German residents moved to neighboring Austria. In 1921 there were 1,055 people in the community of Groß Umlowitz, 958 of whom were Germans and 97 Czechs. In 1930 the population was only 527, of which 425 were Germans, 96 Czechs, 1 Pole and 5 other foreigners. In 1939 Groß Umlowitz had 500 residents.
