Dobříčany (German Dobritschan ) is a district of the municipality Liběšice u Žatce in the Czech Republic. It is located about five kilometers southeast of Žatec (German Saaz) and belongs to the Okres Louny in northern Bohemia.

geography

The village is located on the right bank of the Blšanka (also Zlatý potok , German Goldbach ) on the road from Trnovany (Trnowan) to Veletice . The municipality of Trnovany lies to the northwest, and the municipality of Liběšice to the southeast. West of the place on the left bank of the Blšanka is the Trnovany stop on the Prague – Chomutov railway line . The Lämmerberg (253 m, Czech Ovčí hora ) is about 2 km to the southwest . In the western part of the village on the banks of the Goldbach there used to be a bathhouse with an iron mineral spring and a mill. The forester's house Bellevue ( Letohrádek ) stood south of the village on a hill . Most of the hops are grown on the good soils in the area.

history

The first mention of the village Dobříčany comes from 1318, a medieval fortress is mentioned in 1437. In the 16th century Dobrichan belonged to the lords of Litschkau. Around 1543 ownership changed to Bohuslaw Felix Hassensteinsky from Lobkowitz to Litschkau, then to his son Johann Waldemar von Lobkowitz, and later to Georg Popel von Lobkowitz . In 1596, Christoph Hrobschitzky von Hrobschitz ( Hrobčický z Hrobčic in Czech ) took over the estate and converted the old fortress into a renaissance castle . Because Christoph Hrobschitz was involved in the failed class uprising , the castle was attacked by imperial troops in 1620, plundered and set on fire, after which the castle and the village were expropriated.

In 1623 it was sold to Franz Clary de Riva . In the second half of the 17th century, his descendants converted the castle ruins into a baroque castle and created a large park. In 1746 the rule of Count Leopold Kaspar von Clary and Aldringen († 1800), a branch of the Clary de Riva, was taken over. His descendants sold the castle and the manor in 1804 to Johann Anton Hladek and in 1809 to Eduard von Schönburg . In 1823 the rule of Dobritschan was exchanged for Baron Vinzenz von Zessner-Spitzenberg (1759-1830) and with it the office of patronage for the churches in Dobrichan and Liebeschitz. In 1830, his son Vinzenz Freiherr von Zessner-Spitzenberg († 1879) took over the hereditary property. His successor was his son Heinrich Freiherr von Zessner-Spitzenberg (1839–1922). The family members of the former patrons Clary and Zessner are buried in the crypt chapel of the pilgrimage church in Liebeschitz. The last patron saint was Josef Freiherr von Zessner-Spitzenberg (1883–1971). His brother Hans Karl von Zessner-Spitzenberg (1885–1938) was imprisoned in Vienna shortly after the National Socialists invaded Austria and died on August 1, 1938 in Dachau concentration camp . Dobrichan Castle and Manor remained in the possession of the Zessner-Spitzenberg family until 1945.

After the war, an agricultural cooperative was temporarily located in the castle , after which it was used as barracks for the Czechoslovak army . The buildings were severely neglected and left to decay. After 1989 the castle was again owned by the agricultural cooperative. It has been privately owned since 1992, and plans for revitalization have so far failed. Demolition of the building was not approved.
