History

The first written mention of Keblov is from 1290, when it was a property of the Prague bishops. In 1436, it was acquired by the Trčka of Lípa noble family. After they sold the village in 1547, its owners changed frequently. In the 17th century, the village of Sedlice was annexed to Keblov. In 1703, Keblov was bought by Count Jan Leopold Donát of Trautson and Falkenštejn, who annexed the village to the Křivsoudov estate.[2][3]
