The Dub Castle , originally Mugberk (German Mug Mountain , also Duby ) is the ruin of an early Gothic spur castle in the Czech Republic . It is located one and a half kilometers southwest of Tasov in the Okres Žďár nad Sázavou .
geography
The castle ruins are located on the left side above the Oslava on a low, wooded mountain spur surrounded on three sides in the Křižanovská vrchovina ( Krischanauer Uplands ). Opposite the ruins, the Kameňák stream flows into the Oslava. The Hamzův mlýn or Holomkův mlýn mill is located at the foot of the castle hill.
Surrounding villages are Tasov , Vaneč , Kamenná , Klementice , Oslava and Dolní Heřmanice .
history
The castle was founded by the old Moravian noble family of Tasov ( Thassonis ), who had a black eagle flight on a silver shield as their coat of arms and which split into the families of Lomnitz and Meziříč at the transition from the 13th to the 14th century . The family members mostly carried the first names Tas or Znata.
In 1233 Záviš von Tasov is documented in the land table , the following year Mladota von Tasov - a little later the brothers Záviš, Budiš, Bohuš, Viktor, Drahoslav, Unka and Znata von Tasov. The latter was a close confidante of the Bohemian king Ottokar II. Přemysl and his commissioner both in the Pressburg peace negotiations with the Hungarian king Stephan V and in 1277 with the Roman-German king Rudolf I. Znata von Tasov, that of Ottokar II for his services Meziříčí had received the rule , made the castle there his main seat. The old mansion - the Castle Mug Mountain - thus increasingly lost its importance. Tas, one of the sons of Znata, used the predicate of Becherberg in 1292 .
Around 1348 the castle partly belonged to the brothers Jan and Znata von Tasov; later further relatives were accepted into the community of property. In 1366, the widow Anna von Konitz sold her share in the Tassenberg Castle with part of the Tasov market, forests and the village of Oslava to John of Meziříčí on Velké Meziříčí, in the same year Bunek von Mostiště sold the other half of the castle to Tas von Tasov. This is also the last documentary mention of the castle. In the second half of the 14th century, the Lords of Tasov built the new Hradek fortress near the town of Tasov . It is believed that the Tassenberg Castle was destroyed during the Moravian Fratricidal War between Jobst and Prokop of Moravia .
When Jaroslav von Pernstein and his brothers sold the Tasov estate to Katharina von Sternberg in 1550 , in addition to the Tasov market, the patronage of two churches in Tasov and the villages of Oslava and Kamenná , the "dreary Duby castle" was listed as an accessory.
investment
The castle had a pentagonal floor plan with a maximum dimension of 55 × 30 meters. In front of the main castle was an outer castle separated by a three meter deep ditch with a triangular floor plan.
Remains of the northern and southern castle walls, the gates, foundation walls of the palace and the moat have been preserved . The ruin is protected as a cultural monument.
