history

Church of St. Nicholas

The colonization of the primeval forests in the Bohemian-Moravian border area began in the 12th century after Vladislav II left large parts of them to the diocese of Prague . Witiko von Prčice acquired the territories that remained with the sovereign and had them reclaimed by settlers. His son Heinrich I von Neuhaus built the stone castle Žirovnice at the beginning of the 13th century and continued to settle in the area. A strip of jungle between Pelhřimov and Neuhaus remained uninhabited . The lords of Beneschau and Bechin bought it and continued the settlement from Černovice in the middle of the 13th century . Subsequently, Kamenice , Horní Cerekev and Počátky emerged . The first written mention of Ctiboř dates back to 1233. The foundation of Častrov probably also fell into this settlement phase. For the first time, the place can be proven in a document from the time before 1296 by Bishop Tobias von Bechin . It is believed that the village, similar to Pelec, whose name is derived from Pelz , was built by German settlers northwest of today's Častrov on the Starý Častrov square . While Ctiboř and Jakubín belonged to the Žirovnice estate, Častrov, Metánov and Pelec were subservient for most of the time after Kamenice . In 1350 the owner of Kamenice, Dobeš z Bechyně (1312-1361), had the church of St. Nicholas built in Častrov. In 1362 a plebany was established in Častrov, which was elevated to a parish in 1384. The settlements of Častrovské Dvorce, Kolíbky and Straněnské Dvorce were in the vicinity of the Hájek forest between Jabubín and Žirovnice. It was destroyed in the autumn of 1425 during the Hussite campaign to Moravia. The settlements Kobylá and Jetřiše near Častrov probably also became extinct.

Heinrich IV von Neuhaus sold Častrov and Metánov in 1489 to Mikuláš Holakovský von Proseč. In 1534 Častrov belonged to the nobleman Douha von Častrov. When the inheritance was divided between the daughters of Jan von Leskovec in 1549, Častrov was again part of the Kamenitz rule. Metánov fell to the Kamenitzer share belonging to Magdalény von Lípa, while Častrov became part of the Božejov share. In 1550 the new owner Zdeněk Malovec of Malovice reunited the rule. The goods of Zikmund Matěj Vencelík von Vrchovište, who had acquired Kamenice as a marriage property from the Malovecs, were confiscated in 1620 because of his participation in the class uprising . Three years later, the Spanish officer Heinrich Paradys von Eskavie ( Paradise of Eschaide ) bought the Kamenitz estate for 109,956 shock Meißniche groschen. In 1638 his underage sons Martin and Bartholomäus de la Saga inherited the property, whereby Vlásenice, Pelec, Častrov and Metánov were administered by Bartholomäus. In the berní rula of 1654 32 farms are shown for Častrov. Due to the Thirty Years War, numerous properties were desolate. The Metánov Manor was built on the abandoned grounds during this period. In 1672, Bernard František inherited Paradise de la Saga Častrov and Metánov.

In 1711 Heinrich Graf Daun bought the villages of Častrov and Metánov as well as the newly created settlement Berky from Paradies de la Saga. He established a small manor whose seat was Častrov and had the old fortress redesigned into a baroque palace. The rule included the manors Častrov, Metánov and Stará Huť as well as the Stará Huť glassworks with the associated settlement. In 1721 Franz Karl von Ebelin acquired the Častrov estate on Friedberg. He founded a distillery and a brewery in Častrov. The Častrover beer was sold as far as Jindřichův Hradec . In 1749 the Kuttenberg citizen and master glassmaker František Karel Adler bought Častrov. Adler had a new rectory built in 1761 and the church was given its own pastor again. The parish school was also established at this time. To the north of Častrov, Adler founded the Nová Huť glassworks with ten melting pans and a settlement for the glass workers. The subsequent owners of the estate were Joseph Anton Ritter von Ehrenfeld from 1790 and then Jan Weiss, a citizen of Iglau . In 1822 a public auction of the estate of Weiss took place, at which Karl Graf Rey on Kamenitz was awarded the contract for the rule of Častrov and reunited it with Kamenitz.

In 1829 Rey's widow had to sell the Kamenice estate including Častrov to the Viennese banker Johann Heinrich Geymüller . In 1835 his son Jakob Rudolf Geymüller took over the rule. The goods belonged to him until 1896. In 1839 Geymüller had a new brewery built in Častrov.

After the abolition of patrimonial Částrov formed from 1850 with the district Perky (formerly Berky ) and the settlements Barborka (formerly Stará Huť ) and Drážďany (formerly Nová Huť ) a municipality in the district administration Pelhřimov . The Metánov Manor, which had been forcibly leased since the end of 1847, was demolished in 1857. In the middle of the 19th century, a great wave of emigration to America began. In 1862, Jakob Rudolf Geymüller had the Častrov Castle demolished. Only the stately Heger's house, which was inhabited by the shepherds of the Častrover farm, remained. From 1905 Částrov belonged to the district administration Kamenice. In 1919 Perky became independent. Since 1921 the municipality has been called Častrov . In 1938 Perky came back to Častrov as a district. After the cancellation of the Okres Kamenice nad Lipou, Častrov was assigned to the Okres Pelhřimov at the beginning of 1961 . In 1964 Ctiboř, Metánov, Pelec and Jakubín were incorporated.
