Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia
There was a keep built around 1330. The owner of Svinařov, Vyšehrad Chapter House, used to hire out the Svinařov to different tenants till the reign of Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, when the village was sold. Some years later it became a part of property of the Smečno’s noble family of Martinic and it remained so until the 19th century. The family of Martinic gradually became one of the richest and most powerful noble families in the Czech kingdom. In 1885, Svinařov village separated from Libuším and became a sovereign municipality.
