History

The first written mention of Přestavlky is from 1228. Around 1400, Lords of Dubá acquired the village. In 1428, Přestavlky was bought by Perchta of Kravaře. In the following years, the village often changed owners. In the middle of the 15th century, the royal chamber donated the village to Zdeněk Kostka of Postupice, who annexed it to the Čejchanov estate (later known as Komorní Hrádek estate). From that time until the abolishment of serfdom in 1848, Přestavlky belonged to the Komorní Hrádek estate and shared its owners.

Sights

The only important historical landmark in the municipality is the ruin of the Dubá Castle (today called Stará Dubá Castle), located near Doubravice 1.díl. It was an important medieval castle, built in the 13th century. In 1404, the castle was conquered and left in poor condition. Only a few fragments of the castle have survived, but they testify to its economic, defensive and residential function. Next to the castle was the market town of Odranec, which also disappeared and only a fragment of the walls and a watchtower have survived to this day. The main landmark of the village of Přestavlky u Čerčan is a chapel dating from 1899.
