In the then still densely forested area, the first miners built their huts on the Kocába and on a raised place on the site of today's upper village.
The first written mention of the village took place in 1412. The gold mining probably went out during the Hussite Wars. The favorable location on the plateau was advantageous for Velká Lečice.

Remains of a pottery workshop from the first half of the 15th century as well as a 500-year-old well with oak rooms, which was uncovered during the construction of house no. 84, bear witness to the former importance of the village.
