history
Archaeological finds prove that the urban area has been settled since the Paleolithic . Klobuk was first mentioned in a document in 1205.
The owner of the place and the fortress was Leo von Klobuk until 1228 . He was chamberlain in the Brno and Olomouc region and founded the Obrowitz (Zábrdovice) monastery near Brno around 1204 . As a widower, he is said to have entered the monastery and brought his property with him.
On May 14, 1211 Leo and King Ottokar I received Přemysl , the four-year-old Princess Elisabeth of Hungary on "Clobuk". Elisabeth was the niece of the king and on the trip to the Wartburg in Thuringia, where she was to be brought up and to marry the son of the landgrave there. Thuringian, Hessian and other nobles traveled with her, as well as the papal legate and Archbishop of Gniezno, Heinrich Kietlitz. On Clobuk the king gave a feast in honor of his niece. The next day the company traveled to Obrowitz, where the bishops Daniel of Prague, Robert von Olmütz, numerous abbots, clergymen and the nobility of Bohemia and Moravia were already present for the consecration of the monastery church "Maria Himmelfahrt". Cardinal Kietlitz consecrated the church and the main altar in high mass, and the two bishops the side altars. Another banquet was then served and court was held.
Leo's coat of arms shows an iron hat, which is called "Klobuk" in the Slovakian regions of Moravia and Hungary and which was later also decorated with flowers (two roses). Numerous villages in the area belonged to the Leo's family and were donated to the monastery, as various regests show.
Wenceslaus II raised Klobouky to a town in 1298 and granted him market privileges. During the Hussite Wars the fortress went under. In 1589, the Obrowitz abbot Ambrosius von Teltsch had the renaissance castle built in place of the desert fortress.
Klobouky belonged to the monastic estates until the secularization of the Obrowitz monastery in 1784. These were acquired by Hofrat Dornfeld from the religious fund in 1789. From 1820 Klobouky became the seat of the brothers Augustin and Ignatz, knights of Neuwall. In 1850 2170 people lived in the place.
In 1881 Josef Duffek von Schwarzkirchen acquired the castle. In 1903 the Folklore Museum was founded. In 1908 the Čejč – Ždánice railway was completed. This gave Klobouky a train station, which, however, was located in nearby Kašnice . After Duffek's death, Marie Freifrau von Mitis bought the castle in 1922. In 1932 the community acquired the now dilapidated property. After a renovation in 1935, the museum was housed in it.
In 1998 passenger traffic on the railway line was discontinued.
