History

The first written mention of Černuc is from 1336, when King John of Bohemia exchanged the village for other property of the convent in Doksany. The convent owned Černuc in 1336–1421. In 1468–1603, the village was a property of the Bezdružický branch of the Kolowrat family as a part of the Buštěhrad estate. From 1603, the Doksany convent again owned Černuc, which lasted until the abolishment of the convent in 1782. After that, the village quickly changed hands. The last noble owners of Černuc were the Lexa of Aehrenthal family, which held it from 1806 until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848.
