Until 1918, Načeradec (previously Natscheradetz) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Beneschau bei Prag – Benešov district, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[3]

The Romanesque part of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul is from around 1120. Next to the church stands as a remnant of the church fortifications an old bastion from 1278, which is transformed into a bell tower. The bell in the bell tower is from 1512. There is also one of the rarest Czech sights, the Načeradský Missal from the 13th century.[2][4]

Other sights include a Baroque castle from 1734, a town hall from 1738, and 13 chapels of the Stations of the Cross.[2][4]
