Přídolí (German: Priethal) is a market town in Český Krumlov District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 700 inhabitants.

Administrative parts

The villages of Dubová, Práčov, Sedlice, Spolí, Všeměry, Zahořánky and Záluží are administrative parts of Přídolí.

Etymology

The name evolved from the old Czech word přiedolé, which meant "a place in front of a valley".[2]

Geography

Přídolí is located about 4 kilometres (2 mi) southeast of Český Krumlov and 22 km (14 mi) southwest of České Budějovice. It lies in the Bohemian Forest Foothills, only a small part of the municipal territory in the north extends into the Gratzen Foothills. The highest point is at 879 m (2,884 ft) above sea level. The market town is situated on the right bank of the Vltava river.

History

The first written mention of Přídolí is in a deed of Vítek III of Prčice (founder of the Rosenberg family) from 1220. In 1231, Vítek III of Prčice is documented as the owner of Přídolí. In 1336, Přídolí was promoted to a market town. During the rule of the Rosenberg family, before the start of the Hussite Wars in 1419, Přídolí was experiencing the period of its greatest prosperity. During the Hussite Wars, the market town was badly damaged and never fully recovered from it.[3]

In 1622, the Český Krumlov estate, including Přídolí, was donated to the Eggenberg family. During their rule, the territory was colonized by the Germans, because the Eggenbergs needed miners to mine silver here. In 1719, the estate was inherited by the Schwarzenberg family.[3]
