History

The territory of the municipality was inhabited already in prehistoric and early medieval times. There was a flat, unfortified settlement in the locality of the hill Kořenský vrch.[4] In the locality of Kozí vrch was a two-part fortified settlement from the Bronze Age.[5]

The first written mention of Všemyslice is from 1352. Until the Thirty Years' War, the village was owned by various less important noblemen. After the properties of the nobleman Bohuslav Malovec were confiscated in 1622, Všemyslice was acquired by Baltasar Marradas. In 1630, Všemyslice was bought by the Counts of Vrtba and merged with the Neznašov estate.[6]

Sights

The most valuable building of the municipality is the Church of the Holy Trinity, located near Neznašov. It was originally a medieval church from the first half of the 14th century. It was modified in the Renaissance style in 1606–1607 and then rebuilt into its present Baroque form in the 18th century.[9]

Near the church is located the funeral chapel of the Berchtold family. It was built in the neo-Baroque style in 1930. It has a valuable interior.[10]

The main landmark of the centre of Neznašov is the Neznašov Castle. A fortress in Neznašov was built probably shortly after 1540. In 1800, it was rebuilt into the Empire castle. Today the building is unused.[11]

South of Neznašov is a Jewish cemetery, founded around 1741. More than 300 tombstone have been preserved to this day. The oldest tombstone dates from 1735.[12]
