After the wars, Hulice was acquired for a while by the Trčka of Lípa family. After that, the owners often changed and among them were various less important nobles. In the 17th century, Hulice became a part of the Křivsoudov estate. In the 18th century, the village was annexed to the Soutice estate.[3]
