history
Ratmířici was first mentioned in 1220. The village was founded by a country gentleman named Ratmír . The church of St. Gallus has been a parish church since 1350. In the 14th century the Louňovice Monastery acquired the place. After its destruction by the Taborites , Ratměřice belonged to the property of the town of Tábor . Ferdinand I. confiscated all goods of the rebellious town of Tábor in 1547 and sold Louňovice including Ratměřice to Oldřich Skuhrovský von Skuhrov the following year. On March 6, 1645 Ratměřice was on the battlefield of Jankau , on that day the whole village fell to rubble. In 1665 Franz Wilhelm von Talmberg acquired Ratměřice and added the village to his estates in Vlašim .
1702 Rudolf von Talmberg sold Ratměřice together with Jankov to Johann Anton Kořenský von Terešov. Kořenský, who had been raised to the rank of count in 1705, had a castle built in Ratměřice and moved his seat from Jankov to Ratměřice. In 1719 his four sons sold the combined estate Ratměřice-Jankov with the castles Jankov and Ratměřice to Jiří Vojický from Nová Ves. In 1822 the Counts Chotek von Chotkow and Vojnín acquired the rule. In 1848 the cavalier Otto Chotek had a park with rare trees laid out around the castle.
In 1890 the village had 373 inhabitants. After the abolition of patrimonial Ratměřice formed from 1848 a district of the market town Jankov in the Selchan district .
