In 1406 the town also acquired blood jurisdiction . After Boček II of Podebrady had acquired the goods in 1414 , he joined the Busau rule . In 1481 Kuno von Kunstadt sold the Busau rule to Hans Haugwitz von Biskupitz. In 1546 Prokop Potstatský von Prusinowitz acquired the Busau rule. Since the 15th century, the place was famous for its ceramics, which became famous in Europe as the Loschitzer mug .
In 1585 the town of New Town bought the place from the Potstatský. In 1635 the place burned down. In the flood of 1663 Loštice suffered severe damage again.
