history

The first written mention of Mirošov comes from 1366. The owner of the place was Dobrohost von Ronsperg , who left two farmsteads to the Dominican monastery in Pilsen . From 1400 Wilhelm von Žďár can be proven as the owner. Since 1454 the place belonged to the possessions of the castle Dršťka.

In the 16th century Ferdinand I. left Mirošov to Florian Griesbeck von Griesbach. Griesbeck had the renaissance castle Miröschau built and his son Blasius sold the property to Adam Vratislav von Mitrovice in 1616 . In 1726 the court chamber acquired the Miröschau estate from Jan Antonin Vratislav von Mitrovice. The castle brewery was established in 1749. Miröschau was a Kammergut until 1868 and was then sold together with Gut Zbiroh to the Viennese bank Kirchmayer & Siemund. In the same year, entrepreneur Bethel Henry Strousberg acquired both goods from the property of the bank . In 1879 Strousberg could no longer hold Zbiroh and Mirošov and sold the goods to Hieronymus von Colloredo- Mannsfeld.

After the discovery of hard coal deposits, their dismantling began in 1833 and the originally small pits developed into Miröschau-Libuschin-Schwadowitzer Steinkohlenbergbau-AG, which also acquired the castle in 1890. In the heyday of Miröschau mining, around 1,600 miners worked in the pits. In 1869 the railway from Rokycany to Mirošov was built, which until 1879 only served freight traffic and in 1882 was continued to Nezvěstice . In 1947 the mining stopped.

Other owners of the castle were the director of the mining company Jan Fitz and, after his death, Max Maendl. In 1930 the brewery was shut down. After the German occupation, the Jew Josef Maendl left the country and sold the castle in 1939 to the politician Ladislav Karel Feierabend , who also had to leave the country a year later.

At the end of the Second World War, a prisoner-of-war camp for members of the Waffen SS and the Vlasov Army was set up in Mirošov Castle . In the castle took place after the war in 1945, the execution of more than 300 prisoners of war by order of the camp commander and guerrilla leader Frantisek Foukal . The victims were then buried in a mass grave in the palace gardens. There was also an internment camp for German civilians from the Pilsen area at that time .

After returning from exile, Feierabend took over his property again, but in 1948 he again had to flee abroad, this time from the communists, and in 1952 the castle was nationalized. After years of decline, the daughter got the castle back as restitution in 1991 and began the renovation.
