The Fortress Tichá (German Oppolz ) is a fortification in the municipality Dolní Dvořiště (German Unterhaid ) in Okres Český Krumlov (German District Krumlov ) in the South Bohemia region in the Czech Republic . It has been a protected cultural monument since 1958. Today's ruin is on the Burgen- und Schlösserweg , an approximately 215-kilometer long- distance hiking trail that leads through Austria and the Czech Republic and connects a total of 19 castles and palaces.
geography
The Tichá Fortress is located on the Tichá River above the Hláska fish pond. The residential tower of the fortress protrudes from the desolate and largely extinct area of the former brewery in the village of the same name.
history
The festival was never the center of an independent rule. It was built by the Lords of Velešín. After the death of Beneš and Johann von Velešín in 1360, the Lords of Rosenberg took over the guardianship of the orphaned children and the administration of the castle. In 1387 Ulrich I. von Rosenberg bought the fortress that the Rosenbergs owned until their family died out in 1611. Until the end of the 15th century, the fortress was the seat of an independent burgrave and captain. In 1687, 1707 and 1789 the castle was badly damaged by fires. Johann Nepomuk Buquoy set up a brewery on the grounds of the festival in 1789, but it did not last very long.
investment
Only a torso of the residential tower on a square floor plan with a side length of nine meters remained from the fortress . The masonry is up to two and a half meters thick in places. The tower is 12 meters high and the original entrance is on the first floor.
