The town of Kralovice was first mentioned in records as a settlement as early as 1183. Located on a junction of trade routes, the settlement developed rapidly into a town whose heyday continued in the 1990s. Since 2003 Kralovice has been a town with extended powers and the seat of a regional authority. The town's landmarks include St Peter's and St Paul's Church with the vault of the Gryspek family, a former town hall, remarkable houses on Markova Street and the U Beránků House on the square, the oldest structure in the town. Not far from the town lies Mariánská Týnice with a Baroque complex which once served as a provost's residence.
