The first written mention of Malá Hraštice is from 1454. Velká Hraštice was first mentioned in 1360, when the local church was promoted to a parish church. In 1639, during the Thirty Years' War, both villages were destroyed by the Swedish army and most of the inhabitants were killed. From 1595 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848, Malá Hraštice was part of the Dobříš estate and shared its owners.[2] [3]
Malá Hraštice is located on the railway line Prague–Dobříš.[4]
The main landmark of the municipality is the Church of Saint Sigismund, located in Velká Hraštice. The originally medieval church was gradually modified to its present form in the 18th and 19th centuries.[3]
