History
History
The first written mention of Mnichovice is from 1134. The village was founded by the monks from the Sázava Monastery, who founded here a Romanesque basilica in 1140. In 1420, Mnichovice became a market town. After the monastery was conquered by the Hussites in 1421, the market town became their property. Shortly after that, in 1422, it was acquired by the Kostka of Postupice family. Mnichovice was badly damaged by fires in 1531 and 1631, and it was also devastated during the Thirty Years' War in 1638. Further fires damaged the market town in 1746, 1751 and 1865–1872. From 1852 to 1945, Mnichovice had the title of a town. Its town status was restored in 2000.
