The first written mention of Nová Ves is from 1464. The Schwanitz family owned the village from 1498 to 1595, then they sold it to Katharina of Redern. She had built here a church. After the Battle of White Mountain, Nová Ves was acquired by Albrecht von Wallenstein. After that, the village changed several owners in a short period of time. It wasn't until 1712 that the Gallas family bought it and added it to the Liberec estate.[2]
