Geography

Novosedly lies on the Thaya River. The municipality is embossed with fruitful vineyards.

History
Church of Saint Ulrich

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.[2]

Severage damage was inflicted by the Hussites in 1426. As part of the possession of Drnholec, it fell to the House of Liechtenstein in 1394. Like Drnholec, it was parsoned from 1642 until 1848. In 1576 a market existed there, in 1771 an expositur, and in 1785 its own parish. In 1785 its graveyard was relocated away from the church.

In 1871 the railway line from Břeclav to Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou was built and in 1872 the line from Novosedly to Laa an der Thaya was added. In 1883 the cellar lane was established. In 1887 two thirds of the village was destroyed in a fire. A farmers market was held every Tuesday from 1872 onward, but was eventually suspended because of the larger market in neighbouring Drnholec.

The industrial places in the village were the grain mill (built anew in 1899 with a new warehouse and a steam-powered mill), which was financed by the central association of the German agricultural cooperative. The old grain mill by the Thaya, first mentioned in the urbar in 1414 with six set of millstones, was sold in 1786 and built anew in 1811. It was closed in 1886/87 because of the drainage of the Thaya river.

After World War I the multi-ethnic state Austria-Hungary was split up. By the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the municipality became part of the 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 the World War II, the municipality fell back to Czechoslovakia. The German population was expelled and their properties were confiscated.[2]

Sights

The Church of Saint Ulrich is one of the few original Romanesque church buildings in the area. The original Romanesque phase was covered by Gothic and other modifications, but the Romanesque windows in the attic, found during the restoration of the church in 1946, were preserved.[2]
