history

Litkowicz was first mentioned in a document in 1228 as the property of the Cistercian abbey Vallis Sanctae Mariae in Oslawan . The village was one of the estates with which Queen Constanze of Hungary had endowed the newly founded monastery. After the abbey was abandoned in 1525, its goods came to secular owners. From 1586 the Oslawan rule belonged to the Counts of Althan , in 1654 it came to the Lords of Mollart through marriage . Peter Ernst von Mollart sold Oslawan with all its accessories, including Ledkowicz in 1712, to the Maria Saal Cistercian Abbey in Old Brno. After their repeal in the course of the Josephine reforms , the Oslawan estates fell to the religious fund in 1782, which leased them to Johann Nepomuk von Scharff in 1789. In 1800 Scharff bought the rule.
