Before the Battle of White Mountain Jeníkov belongs a lord Trcka of Lipa. However, the town suffered from consequences of 30-years´ War, when fifteen villages in the environs were completely burnt out by soldier troops, so, such war trouble brought many difficulties to Bohemia countryside. Nevertheless, Martin Maxmillian Goltz, Emperor´s field Inspector-General of Ordonance, obtained Jeníkov dominion as a reward for his faithful services. So, this new owner settled there persistently and put foundations to many important buildings – such as: Loreta, stronghold, town hall or deanery, and this small town got again its economical and cultural swing. The name Goltz (CZ: Golc) from that time became part of the name of this municipality.

In 1777 was built a stone baroque town hall, which has already burned down in 1784. Model for other construction in 1818 became apparently Cáslav Town Hall.
