The originally market seat was founded on the left bank of the Otava river by Bavor I of Strakonice. The village became a town and it was fortified in 1293.
The town was captured twice in the 14th century. For the first time by the soldiery of King Rudolph I and later, in 1399, by King Wenceslas IV. During the Hussite Wars in the 15th century the town was allied with the Hussites. The development of Horaždovice, lying on the trade route between the towns Ceské Budejovice and Plzen (Pilsen), increased and it culminated in the 16th century, when the duct was constructed there. At the time of the Thirty Years' War Horaždovice was plundered and burnt down.
