history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1338. It was one of the foundations during the settlement of the Weitra area in the 14th century.

After the First World War, the Lower Austrian town in the Schrems district belonged to that part of the Weitra area that was assigned to Czechoslovakia in the Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1920 .

In 1930 there were 1,792 people living in the village. According to the Munich Agreement , Rottenschachen was assigned the Franzensthal district by the municipality of Klikau and was incorporated into the German district of Gmünd from 1939 to 1945. In 1939, Rottenschachen and Franzensthal had 1640 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, the village came back to Czechoslovakia, with the majority German-speaking population being expelled.

In 1953 a final resettlement campaign took place because of the construction of the Iron Curtain. The whole place Kunšach and Nová Ves u Klikova were razed to the ground with the exception of a few houses. In 1985 Rapšach was incorporated into Suchdol nad Lužnicí . Since 1989 it has formed an independent community again.
