Between 1228 and 1400, the village was owned by various lower nobles and by the Teutonic Order in Hradec Králové.

After the Battle of White Mountain in 1620, their properties were confiscated and Sadová was bought by Albrecht von Wallenstein.

[3] Albrecht von Wallenstein owned Sadová only one year, then he exchanged the village with Maria Magdalena Trčková for other properties.

She bequeathed the village to Adam Erdmann Trčka von Lípa, but he was murdered in 1636, and Sadová was gifted to General Lieutenant Matthias Gallas.

[3] Despite France being neutral in that war, the French public resented the Prussian victory and demanded "Revanche pour Sadova" (Revenge for Sadowa), which was one factor leading to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
