history

A large number of archaeological finds and the discovery of a prehistoric castle by Jaroslav Palliardi and František Vildomec prove a continuous settlement of the urban area between the Neolithic and La Tène times , which is known as the Jevišovice culture ( Jaispitz culture ).

After 1277, Boček von Zbraslav and Obřany, the founder of the Jevišovice family branch of the Lords of Art City, had a castle built on the left over the Jevišovka valley . The first documentary evidence comes from 1289, when Boček used the Jevišovice title from his brother Kuna . The castle was at the beginning of the 15th century as the seat of the Dürr Devil ( Suchý Čert known) Robber Baron Hynek Jevišovický of Kunštát, the 1404 Znojmo occupied. Together with the Hawks John Sokol of Lamberg Dürr devil did until his death in 1408 in Moravia and the March Field on the loose and successfully resisted against the troops of Emperor Sigismund and Duke Albrecht V . Under his sons Sezema Zajímač, Boček and Jan Dürrteufel, the castle became a seat of the Hussites. In 1421 Albrecht V conquered the castle and had it razed. After that, the Hussites were able to hold Jevišovice again until 1431. From 1448 the old castle was called desolate.

In place of the destroyed castle, a new castle was built around 1432 on the opposite side above the valley, which was converted into a Renaissance castle in the 16th century.

In 1587, Karl II von Münsterberg became the owner of the Jaispitz estate. In 1619 General Heinrich von Dampierre captured Jaispitz. In 1628 a brewery was founded. With the death of Karl Friedrich von Münsterberg-Oels in 1647, the Münsterberg line of the Lords of Podiebrad expired and the inheritance fell to Silvius Nimrod von Württemberg . This came the rule to Emperor Ferdinand III. to get the Duchy of Oels . In 1649 the French marshal Jean-Louis Raduit de Souches acquired the rule and in 1665 bought Hösting and Boskenstein and in 1679 Platsch .

After his death in 1682, his next-born son, Karl Ludwig de Souches, inherited Jaispitz, while the first-born, declared stupid, Johann Ludwig was awarded the goods of Hostim, Boskovštejn and Plaveč. In 1685 the rule became a family fideikommiss . After Johann Ludwig's death, the property fell back to Fideikommiss. In 1721 Hostim and Boskovštejn were sold to Konstantin Karl Joseph von Gatterburg .

In the 18th century Prokop Diviš was a guest at the castle and is said to have had a secret love there. With the death of Karl Joseph de Souches in 1736 the Moravian line of the family died out and the inheritance fell to Marie Wilhelmine de Souches, who sold the rule to her husband Johann Nepomuk Count Ugarte. The Counts Ugarte held Jaispitz until 1879. After the death of Maximilian Count Ugarte, his sisters Gabriela Lovatelli and Anna Baltazzi shared the property in 1879. Karl Graf Lovatelli built the neo-Gothic New Castle in the zoo instead of the baroque hunting lodge .

The dam on the Jevišovka was built between 1894 and 1897. This structure, designed by Italian engineers, was the first stone dam in Moravia.

In 1897 Anna Baltazzi, who owned the Old Palace , sold her share to the Viennese banker and landowner Robert Simon Freiherr Biedermann von Túrony (a grandson of Michael Lazar Biedermann , 1849–1920), who also bought the other half in the same year. In 1916 the Viennese industrialist Wilhelm Ritter Ofenheim von Ponteuxin acquired both castles, and from 1932 to 1945 they belonged to the Larisch-Mönnich family. In 1921 the city had 1200 inhabitants

The town center of Jevišovice was declared an urban monument zone in 1990. Since January 23, 2007 Jevišovice has city rights.
