history
The village of Račice, which belongs to the royal rule of Pürglitz , was founded in 1556 by four families of potters. The required clay was obtained on site; red pottery slurry ( Klejt ) served as a coating , which was mined in the pits near Častonice. According to the feudal system, the subjects were exempt from cash payments to the castle and had to deliver twelve pots and lamps each week.
In 1658, Emperor Leopold I pledged the crown rule of Pürglitz to Johann Adolf von Schwarzenberg . In 1685 Leopold I sold the rule to Ernst Joseph Count von Waldstein . In 1731 Johann Joseph Graf von Waldstein bequeathed the rule to his daughter and universal heiress Maria Anna Fürstin zu Fürstenberg , who in 1756 united her in a will with the rule of Kruschowitz and 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.
In 1843 Ratschitz or Račice consisted of 22 houses with 140 inhabitants. The one-shift Semetz lay aside. The parish was Zbečno . Ratschitz remained subordinate to Fideikommiss Pürglitz until the middle of the 19th century .
After the abolition of patrimonial formed Račice / Ratschitz 1850 initially a part of the municipality Zbečno in District Rakonitz and judicial district Křivoklát. From 1853 the village belonged to the municipality Sýkořice . After the death of Karl Egon II zu Fürstenberg in 1854, his second-born son Max Egon I inherited the Fideikommiss Pürglitz. The Rakonitz – Protivín Railway began operating the Beroun – Rakovník line in 1876 . Račice broke away from Sýkořice in 1880 and became independent. In 1929 the Fürstenberg family sold their Pürglitzer goods to the Czechoslovak state. In 1932 there were 411 people living in Račice. On January 1st, 1980 Račice was incorporated into Zbečno, and since the beginning of 1992 Račice has again been a separate municipality.
Račice is now a resort, most of the cadastre consists of forest. Today the village consists of 79 houses, there are also around 280 holiday huts and the U Jezu campsite on the Berounka weir .
