The Střílky Castle (German Castle Střílek ) are the ruins of a hilltop castle in Okres Kroměříž in the Zlínský kraj region in the Czech Republic .
history
Střílky Castle was built after the middle of the 13th century by Smil von Zbraslav and Střílky on a hill on the western slope of the Martian Mountains above the settlement of Střílky . Smil was burgrave of Brumov around this time and first used the predicate "von Střílky" ( ze Střilek ) in 1258 . Archaeological studies confirm the time of origin.
The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1321, when the Bohemian King John of Luxembourg gave the castle as a fief to Heinrich / Jindřich von Leipa ( Železný ), who was a son of Heinrich von Leipa . Together with Tovačov and Hostěradice , the castle was to serve as a marriage property for his bride Agnes von Blankenheim , who was related to the king. From this it can be concluded that after Smil's childless death in 1273 the castle fell back to the Bohemian king as a settled fiefdom.
The complex included a bailey , which was separated from the actual castle by a moat . The style of the castle complex corresponded to the castles of that time in the Austrian Danube Plain, where Smil and his brother Boček had connections. The complex was later surrounded by a defensive wall.
Around the middle of the 14th century the castle was owned by the Lords of Cimburg , who sold it to Margrave Johann Heinrich in 1358 . His son Jobst von Moravia sold it to Vznata Hecht von Rossitz in 1407 . After 1437, the sovereign King Sigmund sold it to the Lords of Lichtenburg on Vöttau , from whom it was acquired in 1481 by the Vladiken von Ojnice. It is not known whether the castle chapel mentioned that year existed earlier. In 1511 the Vladiken moved from Ojnice to Bučovice . In 1542 the castle is described as desolate .
