History
The first written mention of Cerhovice is in a deed of King Ottokar II of Bohemia from 1275. The village was promoted to a market town in 1516 by King Vladislaus II. The market town was a royal property until 1557, when it was purchased by the Lobkowicz family. Their properties were confiscated as a punishment for preparing an uprising against the king in 1595, and the royal chamber regained Cerhovice.[3]
