The Castel Sant'Angelo was built towards the end of the 14th century by the lords of Riesenburg , who also owned the castle and the Bečov rule . Its first written mention comes from 1402, when it was owned by the Boresch / Borso von Riesenburg ( Boreš z Oseka ). In 1406 it came to Ulrich Zajíc von Hasenburg ( Oldřich Zajíc z Házmburka ), after his death at the latest in 1414 to the royal chamber . In 1430 the castle was taken by the Hussite captain Jakob von Wrzessowitz , who made campaigns of conquest to Elbogen , Eger and Bavaria from here . From 1434 the dilapidated castle complex was pledged to the imperial chancellor Kaspar Schlick , who arranged for it to be repaired.
