History
The first written mention of Zdislavice is from 1352. Until 1547, the village was part of the Vlašim estate and shared its owners. Knigh Petr of Újezd bought Zdislavice in 1547 and ruled the village for several years. After his rule, Zdislavice was bought by Václav Čejka of Olbramovice and became part of the Kácov estate. In this period, Zdislavice was promoted to a market town.[3]
