History

The first written mention of Chvojenec is from 1336, when it was a part of Chvojno estate. A small fortress stood here until the 16th century. Chvojenec was known for the production of pitch.[2]

During the 18th century Chvojenec, together with Rokytno and Býšť, was the centre of a persecuted religious sect of Deists called blouznivci.[2][3]
