History
The first written record dates back to 1223 when the village was a property of Mstidruh of Sluštice. Already at that time there was a parish church and a stronghold. It is an evidence that Sluštice was among significant villages. In 1519 it was bought by Marta Pechancová of Bezděkov. At that time the stronghold was not inhabited, it was controlled from Královice and Křenice and the local stronghold ceased to exist. The village of Sluštice belonged to the Královice and Křenice estates. In 1623 (at the time of the Thirty Years' War) Sluštice was confiscated, sold to the Prince Charles of Liechtenstein and incorporated into the estate of Škvorec with which it shared its fate.
Historical development of the name of the village
The etymology of the word Sluštice is "ves lidí služkových" which is "a village of servants".
