Omlenice
The first written mention of the town is from 1358. The original settlement belonged to minor nobility, then from the 16th century to the Clarisse Monastery in Český Krumlov and to various other estates. In 1590 a large part of the village was acquired through purchase by Omlenička.

Omlenička
First written mention from 1358. The original settlement with fortress belonged to Pořešín in the 13th century, then to the Drochovec family of Drochov from 1364, then to Přibík Zibřid of Mostek from 1465. Afterwards the settlement went through the hands of several owners. At the beginning of the 18th century Omlenička went to the Counts of Nütz. A chateau was built in place of a fortress. In 1778 Omlenička was bought by Vyšší Brod Monastery. In 1829 the entire village burned, and with it the chateau, church, and tower. Earlier, in 1656, small spas had been established from a spring of ferrous water - the spas were extended in 1710 and still in use at the beginning of the 20th century. The spas were used to heal digestive ailments.
