History

The first written mention of Krabčice is from 1226, when Matěj and Václav Nemoj from the Vršovci family gave the land to the monastery in Doksany. However, it was removed from Doksany by Emperor Sigismund in order to assign it as a pledge to the Lords of Rous of Svinov. At the end of the 16th century, it was purchased by William of Rosenberg.[2]
