history
The place was first mentioned as Sonnberg in 1279 when it was owned by an Engelschalk. On November 12, 1281 Heinrich I. von Rosenberg exchanged three other villages for the village of Sonnberg with a certificate issued in Rosenberg . From this it can be concluded that Sonnberg was probably founded in the middle of the 13th century by Heinrich's father Wok von Rosenberg .
During the reign of Pavlík von Sonnberg, the castle was rebuilt and fortified in 1382–1412. The Church of John the Baptist already existed around this time. 1549–1600 Sonnberg belonged to Heinrich Pouzar von Michnitz ( Jindřich Pouzar z Michnic ). He had the castle rebuilt in the Renaissance style and the village enclosed with a stone wall. In 1602 Sonnberg acquired Peter Wok von Rosenberg , who left it to his secretary Theobald Hock in 1610 . After the latter was accused of forgery in 1618, Sonnberg came to Peter von Schwanberg , who added it to his rule of Gratzen . Because of his participation in the Bohemian uprising , he lost his possessions after the battle of the White Mountain . Subsequently, Emperor Ferdinand II. Sonnberg gave his general Carl Graf Bucquoy . After 1789 the fort and the associated land were sold to the subjects.
In 1900 Sonnberg consisted of 320 German residents. By 1921 the population rose to 629, 95% of them German. After the expulsion of the German population in 1945/46 there were only 98 inhabitants in 1950; by 1991 the population sank to 28. In 2001 the village consisted of 30 houses, in which 24 people lived.
