history

The village was probably founded in the first half of the 13th century. The origin of the place name is unclear; Possible derivations are from the production of pearl barley , the old Czech meaning of krupá as a large village or coarse rock and the German word pit . The first documentary mention took place in 1283 under the goods of the summer castle . The lords of Lichtenburg initially owned the estate . There is evidence of a wooden church since 1307. In the 14th century, different owners took turns, most of the time the estate belonged to Anděl von Ronovec. Heinrich Špetle von Pruditz had a fortress built in Dolní Krupá in 1502 . His successor Johann Haugwitz von Biskupitz made the fortress Dolní Krupá his seat. His son Hynek, who had taken over the rule in 1533, initially lived in the Ronovec Castle. In 1544 he moved to the Dolní Krupá fortress and gave up the uncomfortable castle. The Haugwitz family held the estate until 1580, the subsequent owner was Burian Trčka von Lípa . After Maximilian Trčka inherited the Dolní Krupá estate from Lípa, he had the fortress transformed into a castle. After his death his brother Johann Rudolf inherited the estate. After the murder of Adam Erdmann Trčka von Lípa, Emperor Ferdinand II confiscated his property and those of his father Johann Rudolf on March 29, 1634; the confiscation patent was confirmed in May 1636 by the Reichshofrat in Vienna.

Ferdinand II sold the confiscated goods to favorites. 1636 received the imperial general Johann Reinhard von Walmerode on Nymburk the rule Habry and the Gut Dolní Krupá. He showed little interest in the new property, but couldn't find a buyer. The Dolní Krupá parish became extinct during the Thirty Years' War and the church became the Commendat Church of the Habry Parish. In 1651 the estate was again separated from the Habry lordship and sold to Johann Mencl von Bernfels. This united the goods Olešná, Dolní Krupá and Horní Krupá. Around 1660 he had the palace redesigned in baroque style and a new farmyard built. In 1664 the imperial judge in Deutschbrod , Johann Hieronymus Henrich von Lewenfels, acquired the estate. He had the church rebuilt in 1683. Lewenfels bequeathed the estate to his son-in-law Franz Leopold Schönowetz von Ungerswerth and Adlerslöwen. In 1727 Schönowetz founded a parish in Skuhrov together with the Habern landlords Adolph Felix von Pötting and Persing , to which the Kraupner Church was assigned as a branch. During this time, school lessons began in Dolní Krupá in a chaluppe - probably in the old rectory. The subsequent owner of the estate was Franz Leopold Schönowetz 'son Thaddäus Dismas. In 1762 he founded the parish Dolní Krupá and bequeathed the estate to his son Thaddäus. Wenzel Schönowetz von Ungerswerth und Adlerslöwen, who inherited the estate from his father in 1780, died in 1812 without a will. As a result of the comparison of inheritance in 1815, the Dolní Krupá estate was passed on to his sister Katharina von Schönowetz, who left it to her universal heir Wilhelm Schönowetz. He sold the Kraupen estate to Johann von Skronsky in 1830, who sold it to Johann Wlček in 1833. Two years later it was sold to Josepha Kriesten, née Schießler, who sold the Kraupen estate to Franz Lamprecht and Maria, born in 1840. Dufet sold.

The forests belonging to the estate with an area of 381 yokes 191 square fathoms were managed by two forest districts in Ober- and Unter-Kraupen. In Unter-Kraupen , the rulers managed a herding farm with a sheep farm, which was formed through the merging of the Ober- and Unterkraupner farms. The farms in Gerstein, Lissa and Woleschna had been emphyteutized since 1789 . Seven quarries were operated in which limestone and sandstone were extracted.

Unter-Kraupen was the Catholic parish for Ober-Kraupen, Chrast, Gerstein, Lissa ( Lysá ), Pochwald, Břewnitz , Kyow , Knik , Böhmisch-Pfaffendorf and Zbožitz . The Protestants were assigned to the Močowitz pastorate , but used the local Catholic Church for their baptisms and weddings. In 1843 Karl Mladota von Solopisk acquired the Kraupen estate. At this time the two-class school lessons began, for the second class Mladota set up a classroom in the west wing of the castle. In 1847 a Helvetian tolerance church was established in Ober-Kraupen, which was assigned as a branch to the new pastorate of Sazau the following year .
