The local countryside was occupied by the Czech Brethren from the Hussite wars up until 1620. After the White Mountain battle, all Czech Brethren priests were banned from the parsonages in 1924. The Emperor’s Patent from 1627 ordered that all citizens of another confession than Catholics have to move out. Those who did not want to move out, faked to receive the Catholic faith, however the old faith remained in their heart, in which they also brought up secretly their children. Czech Brethren, wearing their hoods would gather to prayers at the gorges under the Kavčí hill. The Helvetic and Augsburg confession was permitted by the Tolerance patent (Emperor Joseph II). Many secret Czech Brethren enspoused the Helvetic confession since it was closest to the Czech Brethren faith.
