During this time, the new locations Kopaniny, Chalópky, Vápenice, U Myslivárni, Větřák, Vévoz and Na Bařině were built around the farm. At the end of the 15th century, fish ponds were created in the area around Letonice. In 1494 the Kropáč from Nevědomí to Bučovice from Vratislav from Pernstein compared to create two new ponds. After the fall of the Dominican monastery, its property fell to Jan Petrovský von Hrochov, who in 1512 left the property to Wilhelm II of Pernstein .
