The first written mention of Knínice is from 1262, when Jaroslav of Knínice was documented as the owner of a fortress in Knínice. In 1503, Knínice was bought by Lords of Lomnice, who joined the village to the Náměšť estate. It was part of the estate until 1799 and shared its fate and owners. After the death of the last lord of Lomnice in 1563, the estate was inherited by the Zierotin family, who owned it until 1628. Other notable owners were Albrecht von Wallenstein (1628–1629), the Verdenberg family (1629–1733), and the Haugwitz family (1752–1799).[2]
