The story
The first written mention of Jíloviště is in a deed of Zbraslav Monastery from 1347. The village was founded after 1342. The monastery owned Jíloviště until 1420, when the Hussites burned down the monastery. In 1420, the village was acquired by a lower noblemen Zikmund Bolechovec of Pušperk, but between 1471 and 1526, it became again a property of the Zbraslav Monastery.
In the mid-16th century, Jíloviště was described as abandoned, but it was repopulated in 1587 at the latest. Around 1639, during the Thirty Years' War, the village was burned down. The Zbraslav Monastery was abolished in 1785 and the estate was managed by the religious fund since then. In 1825, the Zbraslav estate was bought by Count Bedřich Jindřich Öettinger-Wallerstein. In 1848, Jíloviště became an independent municipality.
