The first written mention of Kà Âivsoudov is from 1276, when there was a fortress owned by Oldà Âich of à ÂÃÂÃÂany. He replaced it with a castle and founded also the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. From 1307 to 1424, the village was property of the bishopric of Prague. In the second half of the 14th century, during the rule of Jan of Jenà ¡tejn, Kà Âivsoudov was promoted to a market town. The TrÃÂka of LÃÂpa family then owned Kà Âivsoudov for more than 100 years, but they didn't live here and the local castle fell into disrepair.
Jindà Âich Stà Âela of Rokyce bought Kà Âivsoudov in 1550 and had repair the castle. During the rule of the Stà Âela of Rokyce family, the market town obtained various privileges and prospered. The properties of the family were confiscated in 1622 after the Battle of White Mountain. The next notable owner of the estate was John Leopold of Trautson and Falkenstein, who bought it in 1702 and merged it with the DolnàKralovice estate. In 1715, the castle and the market town were damaged by a fire and John Leopold left Kà Âivsoudov.
