history

The castle was built around 1340 as a private castle of the Olomouc bishop and deputy governor of Moravia , Jan Volek . After his death in 1351 the sovereign feud of Hluboky fell back to the Bohemian King Charles I , who left it to his brother Margrave Johann Heinrich . He used castellans to manage the castle . In 1364 the villages of Hlubočky , Nepřívaz , Hrdibořice , Lhota, Baranov and one half of Posluchov belonging to the Hluboky feudal estate were named for the first time . Between 1371 and 1379 Půta von Holštejn was castellan on Hluboky. From 1382 he was followed by Lacek (I.) von Krawarn , to whom Margrave Jobst von Moravia peculiarly left the estate in 1406. The following owners were from 1418 Ondřej and Milota from Tworkau and later Dobeš from Tworkau. After the outbreak of the Hussite Wars, the latter was a staunch opponent of the rebels. At the beginning of 1425 the castle was taken by the Hussites and from March 1425 it formed a base of the rebels, on which, after the Pact of Sovinec with Dobeš ( Dobeslaus ), Puchala as representative of Sigismund Korybut and Petr Holý, who can be assigned to the radical wing, two Hussite captains resided and prepared the siege of Olomouc . On March 20, 1425, successful negotiations between the Hussites and Mikuláš von Bludov as the envoy of the Opava Duke Přemysl I took place at the castle . a. Ctibor of Cimburk , switched to the side of the Hussites. After the conquest of the Dollein Charterhouse , however, the successes of the rebels ended, who did not succeed in taking Olomouc. In the summer of 1426 royal troops under Hašek von Waldstein and Archduke Albrecht conquered the castle after violent fighting and destroyed it on the orders of King Sigismund . A little later it was further ruined by Archduke Albrecht's troops. The desert castle was later transferred to Jan Pňovský von Sovinec by Liška Ryšavá . In 1437 Bernhard von Zierotin bought the desert castle Hluboký with the associated villages. Ten years later he sold it to the Olomouc citizen Lukas Salzer, who in the same year passed it on to Andreas von Studnitz auf Velká Bystřice , who added it to his rule. The desolate Hluboky Castle was last mentioned in 1612.

After that, the ruin was only referred to as Pustý zámek and was subject to legends. Bohumír Štéger even described the ruin in his book Pověsti o hradech a zámcích ji zpracoval as the seat of robber barons . It was not until 1955 that the Pustý zámek ruins were identified as a relic of the Hluboký castle.
