History
Štítina was first mentioned in 1282. The original keep built by the lords of Benešov was later rebuilt into a moated renaissance castle. In 1785, the castle was turned into a brewery and in 1988, the tumbledown building was eventually demolished.[2]
At the end of World War II, large tank battle took place between Štítina and Kravaře and the village itself was badly damaged.
