The town was, in the 12th century, on the intersection of two merchants routes. The first written mention about Milevsko is from 1184 and three years later a [[Premonstratensian]] [[monastery]] was built. The following years were the time of prosperity and the monastery became one of the richest monasteries in the [[Bohemian Kingdom|Bohemia]]. Its collapse was connected to an attack by the [[Hussite]]s, who destroyed it by fire in 1420.
