history
The fortress of Konojedy is mentioned as early as 1451, which was built on the basis of a knightly order resident here. In the 16th century the fortress was stopped and converted into a Renaissance castle . It is documented that the last owner of the Konojedy was Albrecht Konojedy. Its property was expropriated and sold.
Another famous owner was František Spork , and in 1699 a hospital for the poor was built in the castle. His daughter married František Karl Sweert in 1712 , who founded a monastery here in 1746. In the history it was mentioned that it must have been a ring-shaped monastery.
40 years later, in 1786, the monastery was closed again. The founder's son, Jan Kristian Sweert, bought it, had it torn down and built the new palace in the late Baroque style, which can still be seen today . The mighty Church of the Virgin Mary, which can still be seen today, was built.
Later some owners changed here. The last one bought it from a doctor in Úštěk . In 1945 it was expropriated.
