History


The first written mention of Včelnice is from 1360. In 1649, the estate was bought by Spanish nobleman Bartholomew Paradys de la Saga. His wife Hypolity of Ladron had a chapel built nearby with a copy of a statuette of Black Madonna from Altötting. Her son had built 54 houses around the chapel and sold them to craftsmen. Thus, he turned a pilgrimage site into a large craft village named Neuötting/Nový Etynk.[2]

In the 18th century, Nový Etynk grew and guilds were founded. In 1786, the chapel was rebuilt into the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Nový Etynk-Včelnice was promoted to a market town in 1790 and to a town in 1884. In the 1930s, it lost the town title. In 1950, the market town was renamed to Nová Včelnice. The title of a town was returned to Nová Včelnice in 1998.[2]
