The castle Cimburk (also Nový Cimburk , German castle Cimburg , sometimes also Neu Cimburg , originally Zinnenburg ) is a castle ruin in South Moravia . It is located four kilometers east of Koryčany and belongs to the Okres Kroměříž .
history
The Cimburg was built in the 1330s by the Moravian chamberlain Bernhard von Cimburg , who previously settled at a fortress near Trnávka ( Türnau ), which was also built by him before 1308 and is known as the "old Cimburg" ( Starý Cimburk ). He exchanged the rule of Alt Cimburg around 1330 with Heinrich / Jindřich von Leipa ( Železný ), a son of Heinrich von Leipa , for the dominions Střílky and Koryčany .
In the following years he built the "new Cimburg" ( Nový Cimburk ) not far from Koryčany . This is first mentioned in a document in 1358, when it was sold by Bernhard's son Ctibor von Cimburg together with the Střílky castle to the Moravian margrave Johann Heinrich . In the corresponding land table entry, it is referred to as the "new castle" ( Cymburk nouum castrum ). Due to financial hardship, Johann Heinrich's son Jobst pledged the Cimburg in 1398 to Čeňek von Drahotuš , who undertook to return the castle to the margrave as soon as he had repaid the debts to him. This did not happen, however, as the castle was illegally conquered by Wok IV von Holstein in 1407/1408 . In negotiations with Jobst he managed to keep the castle. After Wok IV's death in 1420, it was sold by his son of the same name, Wok V, to his relative Stephan / Štěpán II von Holstein on Wartnau . The extensive reconstructions of the castle and the construction of a castle chapel probably go back to this.
During the Hussite Wars and the Hungarian-Bohemian Succession Wars , the castle was conquered several times. At the end of the 15th century it was owned by Nikolaus Franz von Háje, who was first documented in 1493 with the addition of the name Cimburg ( Mikuláš z Háje a na Cimburce ). Later it came to the Prusinovský of Víckov and then to the Horecký of Horka.
After the Thirty Years War, the castle was only temporarily inhabited. After the Horecký von Horka built a castle in Koryčany after 1677, they resided there. In 1709 the Cimburg is described as uninhabited, in the following decades it fell into disrepair.
The originally Gothic castle is said to have been one of the most beautiful castles in Moravia. It was typical of the castle architecture of the first half of the 14th century. The elongated double-towered keep contained numerous architectural details. In 1994 an association was formed that wants to save individual parts of the castle through voluntary work.
