history

The colonization of the primeval forests in the Bohemian-Moravian border region began in the 12th century after Vladislav II left large parts of them to the diocese of Prague in 1144. The corridors of today's Veselá were in the border area of ​​the episcopal acquisitions with the territories remaining with the sovereign. It cannot be determined to which area they belonged at that time.

The foundation of the village Prassiwa is dated to the time after 1203, because in the Rynarcz parish certificate of the coloratura of the new church some villages later parish to Prassiwa , like Ostrovec, can be found. Ceramic remains found in the site can be dated to the 13th century. Further settlements that arose at this time were the northern villages of Tínava and Skehrov and to the west of Jetřiše and Kobylé. These probably went out during the Hussite Wars . The church was built in the first half of the 14th century. In the lower part of the village square there was a fortress that later went out.

The first written mention of the village of Prassiwa took place in 1359 when a new pastor was appointed by the landlord Purchard of Prassiwa. Ondřej von Hostišov and Prašivá fought at the transition from the 14th to the 15th century at the side of the royal general Diviš von Hrádek against the Rosenbergs . He is listed in the Rosenberg execution book. After the end of the Hussite Wars, the area was the scene of fighting between the Grünberg Alliance and the troops of King George of Podebrady . In 1467 an army led by Zdenko von Sternberg advanced from Neuhaus to Černovice and burned six villages between Kamenice and Včelnice . The troops then invaded other villages in the area, probably also in Prassiwa. The residents hid their belongings in the forest. In 1938, residents of the Jalovčí forest found a clay pot with 3,647 silver coins under a tree stump, the contents of which were dated to 1465 according to research in the National Museum in Prague. The find is now kept in the Počátky Museum.

The last of the family, Pavel Prašivský von Hostišov, was in the service of the Lords of Neuhaus . In 1490 he bequeathed Prašivá and Ctiboř with the condition that the income be transferred to the church and that a house be built for the church in Jindřichův Hradec to Henry IV of Neuhaus . In 1517 the lords of Leskovec became the owners of Prašivá. In 1574 the Prašivá and Bělá estates were joined to the Horní Cerekev reign . In 1583, the Prašivá manor belonged to a farm, fish racks, a tree garden and two mills. In 1587 Bohuslav Leskovec gave the place the name Wesela . At the end of the 16th century the property was pledged several times. In 1601 Bohuslav Leskovec released the pledge again and established an independent manor. The fortress was subsequently restored. In 1614 the parish in Wesela went out. Arnošt Leskovec, who owned the estate from 1615, gave himself the title of Veselá and Nové Veselí . In 1617 there was a brewery, malt house and sheep farm in Wesela . After the death of Albrecht Sebastian von Leskovec, the dominions of Horní Cerekev and Veselá Maximilian fell to Count Valentin Martinic in 1655 . Further owners were from 1662 Ferdinand Leopold Benno Martinic and from 1691 Franz Ferdinand von Kuenburg . He sold the property to Ernst August von Metternich in 1718 . Two years later Maximilian von Regal bought the goods. In 1787 a restaurant was opened again in Veselá. After frequent changes of ownership since the beginning of the 19th century, the Cavriani family bought Veselá in 1816 . The house of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen followed in 1842 . At that time, 468 people lived in the 53 houses in the village.

After the abolition of patrimonial Veselá / Wessela formed from 1850 a community in the district administration Pelhřimov . In 1853 a new school building was built, before lessons took place in the rectory. The Veselá locality was raised to a parish in 1857. In 1900 the village had 452 inhabitants. From 1905 the municipality belonged to the Kamenice district administration. Between 1908 and 1910 the road from Pelhřimov via Janovice to Veselá was built. In 1921 there were 391 people living in Veselá, in 1930 there were only 335. In 1945 Anton Karl von Hohenzollern's forest and property were nationalized. Several residents of the village settled in the border areas . 1950 the place had 246 inhabitants. After the cancellation of the Okres Kamenice nad Lipou, Častrov was assigned to the Okres Pelhřimov at the beginning of 1961 . On June 23, 1974, lightning struck the church, after the fire it was repaired until 1976.

In 2009 the renovation of the church and the rectory was completed.

coat of arms

The municipality of Veselá has had a coat of arms since 2009 that shows a silver vulture head with a golden upper beak on a red shield, looking to the right. It goes back to the coat of arms of the Prašivecký family from Hostišov.

Place name

A long-standing legend according to which the village was originally named Prášava survived until the 20th century . This form of name is nowhere recorded in ancient documents, instead the place is referred to as Prassiwa . It is believed that the name - similar to the neighboring village of Bělá - derives from the stream that rises in the village and indicates its ferrous and cloudy water (prašivá voda). Since Prašivá (prašivý = scratchy, mangy, dirty) was regarded as a pejorative, the place was given the melodious name Wesela in 1587 . The term Prašivá was used by the residents until modern times.
