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.
At the end of World War II, large tank battle took place between Štítina and Kravaře and the village itself was badly damaged.
