History

The first written mention of Novosedly is from 1276, when it was acquired by the convent in Dolní Kounice. The village was probably founded as a typical colonization settlement in the first half of the 13th century. In the mid-14th century, the village was annexed to the Drnholec estate and shared its owners and fates. This state lasted until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848. [2]

After World War I and the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the municipality became part of Czechoslovakia and got its Czech name. Following the Munich Agreement German troops marched into Novosedly in October 1938. From that time onward the municipality belonged to the Reichsgau Niederdonau until 1945. After World War II, the municipality fell back to Czechoslovakia. The German population was expelled and their properties were confiscated. [2]
