History
The first written mention of Obříství is from 1290. Before 1420, the village was acquired by Mikuláš Chudý, the founder of the Lobkowicz family. The family owned Obříství until 1542. After the village changed hands several times, in 1618 it was bought by the knight Václav Pětipeský, but his properties were confiscated after the Battle of White Mountain, and in 1623 Obříství was bought by Polyxena of Lobkowicz. In 1623, Obříství was described as a market town, but during the Thirty Years' War it was badly damaged and became a village again. In 1654, the village was sold and often changed hands again. The municipality was heavily damaged by the 2002 European floods.
