Town History
Origin of the Name :
1263 - Bolotitz
1293 - Bolatitz, Bolatiz
1311 - Poletitz
1369 - 1405 - Boleticz
1509 - Boleticze
1612 - Poletitz
1841 - Polletitz (Boletice)
The first written mention of the town is in a document of king Přemysl Otakar II, which the town put into the care of the Zlatá Koruna Monastery. At that time an original small Romanesque church stood in the town. Pope Bonifác IX joined the Boletice vicarage in 1400 to the Zlatá Koruna Monastery, giving the monastery the right to administer the vicarage according to its own oblate. In 1483 Cardinal Jan Sabinský, then in 1498 Bishop Jan Simbanierský granted the Boletice vicarage the right of indulgences. During the Hussite wars, the Lords of Český Krumlov acquired Boletice for their own dominium, resulting in further changes in property status.
Tales and legends :
When two obstinant and quarrelsome Boletice peasants died, they were buried in graves next to each other. Every night the people heard the two at the graveyard cursing and railing each other so loudly that nobody in the area could get a proper night's rest. The news of the two quarrelsome dead spread through the countryside, and the village soon became an object of ridicule. The old priest pleaded Rome for advice. The Pope himself answered that the crosses at the heads of both graves should be turned with their backs to each other. Since then, peace and quiet has reigned at Boletice graveyard.
Local Historical structures
-The ruins of Raziberg castle near the town.
-Slavic mounds in the area, evidence of perhaps the oldest slavic settlement in the south Bohemain region.
-Church of St. Mikuláš - originally romanesque from the late 12th century (rectangular body, prismatic tower). Presbytary, sacristy, and tower on cantilevers are late gothic from the end of the 15th century, roof from 1892.
-Church of St. Martin in Polná na Šumavě - original structure from the end of the 13th century. The presbytary, nave, and tower come from this time. The northern side chapel, used as a sacristy, came about during repairs from 1488, when the church was finished in late Gothic style. The church underwent a Renaissance reconstruction in 1653, when the tower was added.
