History

Džbánov was founded in the mid-13th century. The first written mention of Džbánov is from 1292. In the 14th century, it was property of the Zbraslav Monastery. After the Hussite Wars, the village property was split between several placeholders (the emperor, the town of Vysoké Mýto, royal chamber, and the noble family of Kostka of Postupice). The town of Vysoké Mýto owned the whole village from the late 16th century to 1850. Afterwards the village became autonomous municipality.[2]
