History
The first written mention of Kladruby nad Labem is from 1295, when it was a property of the Premonstratensian monastery at Litomyšl. During the second half of the 14th century, it came into the possession of the Cistercian Sedlec Abbey near Kutná Hora. In 1500, the village was acquired by Vilém II of Pernštejn, who already owned large parts of the Pardubice region. Kladruby remained in possession of the Pernštejn family until 1560, when it was purchased by Emperor Ferdinand I from his master of the horse, Jaroslav of Pernštejn.[3]
In 1579, Emperor Rudolf II established the Imperial Stud at Kladruby, from which Spanish-blood horses were bred for ceremonial purposes.[3][4]
Following the fall of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the stud farm at Kladruby came under state administration.[3][4]
