Agnes bequeathed Županovice to the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star at St. Francis in Prague. They built a hospital here and remained the owners of the village until serfdom was abolished in 1848.[3]
During the construction of the Slapy Reservoir in 1954, most of the historical part of the village was demolished and mostly new family houses remained.[4]
