History
History
The first written mention of Sepekov is from 1243. The village was owned by the Rosenberg family until 1484, when they sold it to Zdeslav of Sternberg. In the 16th century, it was acquired by the Schwamberg family and joined to the Bechyně estate. When Peter Vok of Rosenberg bought this estate in 1569, it excluded Sepekov, which was joined to the Milevsko estate. Milevsko was bought by the Hodějovský of Hodějov family, but their properties were confiscated after the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. In 1623, Sepekov was donated to the Strahov Monastery. In 1869, Sepekov was promoted to a market town.
