History
The first written mention of Stvolínky is from 1197 when Hroznata of Ovenec, the founder of the Teplá Abbey, donated the village to some named Zdeslav and his brothers. From 1358, the village was owned by the small noble family of Lords of Klučov. During their rule, a Gothic fortress with a walled courtyard, surrounded by a 10 to 12 metre wide moat, was built on the site of the lord's court. After the Ronov Castle was built at the end of the 14th century, Stvolínky became part of the Ronov estate. During the Hussite Wars, the village and the fortress were burned down by the Lusatian army. In the late 1430s, the estate was acquired by Vilém of Ilburk. In 1505, Stvolínky was promoted to a market town. The records of that time mention the restored fortress, rebuilt into a Renaissance castle in 1520–1538 by Anežka of Halfenštejn, the wife of Vilém II of Ilburk. In 1609, a municipal hospital was built in Stvolínky. Cardinal Ernst Adalbert of Harrach bought Stvolínky in 1647 and made the local castle the summer seat of the bishopric in Litoměřice. In 1680, local subjects raided the castle during a peasant uprising, which was quickly suppressed by General Harant, who was summoned. At the end of the 17th century, Bishop Jaroslav of Šternberk granted the market town a coat of arms and confirmed market privileges. Stvolínky were owned by the Litoměřice bishops until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1850. From 1938 to 1945, Stvolínky was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. After World War II, the German-speaking population was expelled and the municipality was partially resettled by Czechs. The municipality lost its market town title.
