The first written mention of Besednice is from 1395, when Henry III of Rosenberg donated the village to the parish church of St. Vitus in Český Krumlov. From that time until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, Besednice belonged to the Český Krumlov prelature. Besednice was promoted to a market town in 1910.
