history

The first documentary mention of the place Týn on the royal route from Prague to Saxony comes from a writing of the Kladruby monastery , which is dated from 1115. Another mention as a monastic village comes from the year 1186.

In the 2nd half of the 13th century Týnec came under the rule of the Žirotín Castle . Habart von Žerotín, together with his sons Jaroslav and Plichta, founded a monastery of the Poor Clares in 1280 as thanks for the sterility of his wife Scholastika von Sternberg from being cured by Agnes of Prague , in which St. Agnes probably also spent the last years of her life.

Habart promoted the monastery, had the place expanded and in 1321 granted it market rights. The town was initially called Žirotský Týnec to distinguish it from places of the same name, but because of the monastery, the people named it Panenský Týnec or Jungfernteinitz .

A three-aisled Gothic hall church was to be built in Žirotský Týnec for further expansion as the center of the Žirotín estate. Its construction bears the signature of Peter Parler's workshop and was never completed. In 1380 the monastery burned down and was rebuilt. In 1420 the Poor Clares moved from Prague to Panenský Týnec. During the Hussite Wars , the monastery was looted and sacked and in 1443 reconstruction began. When in 1467 with Jaroslav Plichta von Žerotín the line in the male line extinguished, the inheritance fell to the Lobkowitz . The abbess Anna von Leitmeritz had the monastery rebuilt in 1548.

When the town was burned down in the Thirty Years' War, the Sisters of Panenský Týnec moved back into the monastery of St. Agnes in Prague in 1640. The monastery church of the Holy Trinity burned down in 1722, the former burial church of the Lords of Žerotín was then demolished. In 1730 the medicine “Drops of St. Agnes”, produced in the monastery, was sold. In the course of the Josephine reforms , the monastery was closed in 1782; thus the planned establishment of a school for the poor by the Poor Clares was also broken . The monastic inventory was auctioned and the real estate went to the religious fund.

In 1797 the Prague merchant Jan Tuscany bought Jungfernteinitz and built a trading and transshipment base on the trade route from Prague to Leipzig . On August 19, 1813, Emperor Franz I and King Friedrich Wilhelm III met. in Jungfernteinitz with the Tsar Alexander I , who had taken his night camp in the village. In 1846 there were 861 people in Jungfernteinitz. After patrimonial was replaced, Jungfernteinitz became an independent market town in 1848.

Due to the railway, the road from Prague to Leipzig and with it Jungfernteinitz lost its importance. The monastery was owned by the Prague merchant Albert Renner in 1856, who sold it to Theresia von Herberstein in 1871 . In 1910 the place had 752 inhabitants. In the course of the land reform in 1920 and 1921 the property was divided. Since the second half of the 19th century, the population has steadily declined and dropped to 659 by 1930. This population loss continues. In 2006 the status of Městys was renewed.
