History
The first written record of Mrchojedy is from 1316.[2] The village was owned by Sázava Monastery. It was acquired by the Waldstein family in the 16th century, but in the 17th century, it has returned to the ownership of the Sázava Monastery. The monastery owned it until 1785, when it was abolished by decree of Emperor Joseph II.[3]
