history
The castle was first mentioned in writing in 1358, when Klara von Tasov and her brother-in-law, the Olomouc provost Ješek, sold the villages of Dalečín, Vítochov and Písečné to Jimram von Pernstein . Due to its architectural style in Luxembourg Gothic , it is assumed that it was built around 1340.
