History
editThe village allegedly existed in 1266, when it was a property of the Zbraslav Monastery. The first trustworthy written mention of Neumětely is from 1331. Until 1573, the village was divided into two parts, one owned by the monastery and one by various noblemen. In 1573, Mikuláš Valtr of Valtršpurk bought the second part from the monastery and united the village as part of the Lochovice estate.[3]
