History[]

The village of Mutěnice was probably founded by external colonization. In the 13th century Mutěnice probably belonged to the Templars, who had one of their castles in the neighboring village of Čejkovice. The first written mention of the village comes from the 26 of January 1348. This mention states that the nobleman Jan Chunanův of Velké Bílovice and patrician Pavel Goblinův of Brno "once possessed by their reckless rage" wounded brother Zdimír, a commander of the house of the order of St. John of Jerusalem in Kreuz. Commander Zdimír of Kladruby (near Strakonice) dealt with these attackers. Both attackers were excommunicated and because they could not travel to Rome, the bishop of Olomouc was commissioned to remove the excommunication. Another written mention of Mutěnice from 1367 states that Mutěnice belonged to the Johanite order based in Strakonice. The Johanites had their commandery in Mutěnice. There is also a record in the that Alžběta Herburská, a nun from the Augustinian monastery in Brno, donated land to the parish priest of Mutěnice in 1367.
