history

Mostov was first mentioned in 1362 in the hall book of the Clarissians in Eger as Mosdaw or Moßdaw ; it is said to have been called Woga after Kaspar Brusch in the 13th and 14th centuries . The surrounding property was then owned by Zoswitz in Eger and later became an imperial fief of the Leuchtenbergers. In 1459 the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg returned the fiefdom of Mostau to the Crown of Bohemia on behalf of Elector Friedrich II of Saxony , which led to a rapid change of fiefdoms. At the end of the 15th century it was acquired by the Hardeck family , who built a fortress as the administrative seat, which was transformed into a castle in the 17th century under the Rummerskirch and from 1693 under Johann Friedrich Pergler von Perglas . The Pergler von Perglas held the rule until 1738, followed by the Lords of Schirnding .

After 1862 the castle was rebuilt in the Tudor style by the then owner Anton Emanuel von Komers . In order to increase the yield and the standard of living of the local population, he built a model agricultural estate. In 1886 he sold the property to the industrialist Georg Haas von Hasenfels . He continued the draining of the fields and afforestation of the areas and united the Gut Mostau with the neighboring Gut Königsberg an der Eger , which he had inherited from his father Eusebius Haas, a porcelain manufacturer in Schlaggenwald .

From 1850 to 1945 Mostau was the seat of the municipality with the administration of Dobrassen and blades. From the middle of the 19th century the municipality belonged to the judicial district of Eger , which was part of the district of Eger until the First World War . In 1938 337 people lived in Mostau.

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and belonged to the district of Eger until 1945 .

After the end of the Second World War, the German residents of the place were expropriated and expelled on the basis of the Beneš decrees . The Haas von Hasenfels family was also expropriated and Mostov Castle and its inventory passed into the state ownership of Czechoslovakia . It was initially used for administrative purposes, was a rest home for children in the 1980s and its building fabric began to deteriorate. After the Velvet Revolution , it was bought by the Horní Slavkov Porcelain Manufactory in 1989 . She had the building renovated and converted into a hotel. In 1991 there were 36 inhabitants in Mostov, in 2001 there were 30 inhabitants who lived in 21 houses.
