only began after the liberation. Until 1947 Mladá Vožice had been a court district in the political Tábor District. Since 1949, after the change in the political and state system, Mladá Vožice was included in the newly established district of Votice in Prague Region. After the land reorganization of 1960 Mladá Vožice fell under the Tábor District in the South Bohemian Region.

Demographics Sights Existence of the Church of Saint Martin was first documented in 1348. After it dilapidated, a new Baroque church was built in 1794. It is situated on a reinforced terrace above the Žižkovo Square. All the church bells were seized in 1942 except for the passing bell; the bell called Jan was returned and blessed as late as 1952 and three new bells, Maria, Václav and Martin sounding Gloria in concord, were bought thanks to fund-raising in 1986. A castle was built in the same square between 1570 and 1603. It was rebuilt to its present Baroque form by the Küenburg family, who owned it from 1678 to 1945. In 1946 the castle was confiscated and its interiors were used by the Koh-i-Noor factory. The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is situated on top of a hill above the town, on the site of the former castle. It was built by Krištof Karel Přehořovský of Kvasejovice, the owner of the Vožice estate, in 1646.
