The ruins of the Zavlekov Fortress are located in the municipality of Zavlekov in Okres Klatovy in the Czech Republic . In 1856 it was transformed into a romantic castle ruin towering over the town.
geography
The spur castle stands in the Blatenská pahorkatina ( mountainous region of Blatna ) on the hill Hora (583 m) on a rock.
history
The fort was probably built by Dlouhomil von Welhartitz , who has been the owner of Zavlekov since 1334. His son, who called himself Bušek von Sawlekom , gave his wife Eliška the title of the villages Tužice , Zavlekov and Mladice, the Mladice farm and various farms as a morning gift . In 1404 Bušek's widow sold the estate to Johann von Hirschstein ( Jan z Herštejna ). His son Wilhelm struggled in 1455 against the measures imposed by the death of Eliška of Zavlekov escheat and tried the castle Zavlekov to keep with the associated villages Zavlekov, Tužice, Přebořice and Buršice. King George of Podebrady ended the dispute in 1465 and awarded the goods to Wilhelm von Hirschstein ( Vilém z Herštejna ), as his father had bought them publicly at a market. Jan Herštejnský von Welhartitz sold the castle to Půta Švihovský von Riesenberg around 1480 . In 1504 his son Břetislav inherited the property, and the castle was probably already abandoned at that time due to its confinement. In the middle of the 16th century, the Zavlekov rule fell apart. In 1543, the Švihovský von Riesenberg sold the Tužice estate to Peter Zmrzlík von Schweißing , who also bought Ústaleč, Buršice and Mladice the following year. The Zavlekov estate with its desert festival was sold to Johann Chanowsky von Langendorf in 1544. He had a new fortress built in the middle of the village.
In 1856 the owner of the Elischau estate, Karl Graf Taaffe , had the ruins of the fortress built up into a mighty castle ruin in the spirit of romanticism.
description
The fortress had a trapezoidal floor plan and was accessible from the north side via a narrow rock neck. The entrance area was protected by a cylindrical bastion. The fortress was surrounded by a moat, which was only interrupted in the north by the rock neck. The cellars without vaults and a Gothic sandstone portal at the level of the original first floor have also been preserved from the old fortress.
