In 1368 the notary of the royal chamber, Pavel von Vlašim, bought the property and called himself Paulus de Jenczenstein from then on. Eight years later, his sons Martin, Johann , Wenzel and Paul were mentioned. A new castle complex was built under Pavel von Vlašim, which became the center of a rule.

In 1585 Jenštejn was annexed to the Brandýs rule . In 1597 the castle was described as desolate.
