history
The Obřany Castle was built before 1365 by Boček I of Podebrady and named after the Obřany Castle of the same name near Brno, which was destroyed around 1315/1316 and which he considered the ancestral seat of the Lords of Obřany and the Lords of Kunstadt . The actual ancestral seat of the Lords of Kunstadt, however, was Kunstadt , which was founded by Kuna von Zbraslav and Kunstadt , from which the Lords of Podebrady also descended. In contrast, the Lords of Obřany descended from Kuna's brother Boček von Jaroslavice and Zbraslav .
Since Boček had built the castle without the permission of King Charles IV and his brother Margrave Johann Heinrich , King Charles ordered the castle to be destroyed. Presumably, however, it was not destroyed, but further construction was discontinued. After the death of Jobst of Moravia in 1411 King Wenceslaus IV transferred it to Milota of Tworkau . He and Bistritz sold the castle to his brother Andreas / Ondřej von Tworkau in 1418, who died around 1420. In 1421 the castle was destroyed during the campaign of King Sigismund and probably between 1434 and 1437 by Milota the Elder. J. von Tworkau reacquired together with the rule of Bistritz. Presumably around 1440 he sold both the Sovinec and Helfenstein wok ( Vok ze Sovince a Helfštejna ). In the entry in the Moravian country table , which was not recorded until 1447, the castle is described as destroyed or dilapidated ( Castrum Obrzan diruptum ) and the buyer is listed in the spelling Wockoni de Sowinecz alias de Helffenstein . Probably also in 1447 Wok / Vok sold by Sovinec Castle and Lordship to Johann d. J. Zub von Landstein and Morawan ( Jan mladší “Zub” z Moravan ), who died in 1466.
