history

The village was founded in the course of the colonization of the border forest between Bohemia and Moravia by the Benedictine monastery Wilmzell at a ford through the Sázava. The first written mention of Wokrauhlice took place in 1207. In 1388 the abbot Peter sold the villages of Wokrauhlici and Chlístov to Vladiken Bernard, who then used the title of Okrouhlice . This - or his descendants - built a fortress on the spur by the ford . One of the subsequent owners was Ruprecht von Okrouhlice, who sealed the 1415 letter of complaint from the Bohemian and Moravian nobility against the burning of Jan Hus . 1418 Mikeš Hřebec was mentioned by Okrouhlice, he had his seat previously in Pohleď . From 1442 the estate belonged to the Hroznata of Okrouhlice, who was in the service of the sovereign and took part in the nightly occupation of Prague on September 3, 1442. He sold Okrouhlice before 1454 to Tomek von Kněnice, who then called himself Okrouhlický von Kněnice. Václav Okrouhlický von Kněnice, who was the owner of Okroulice from 1528, also held the goods Tuchotice, Třebešice , Vidice and Mezholezy . 1539 took over Poděbrady Burggraf January Okrouhlický the estate of Kněnice. He pledged it in 1542 to Adam Dobrženský von Dobrženitz , who, however, was not entered in the land register because he had not paid the tax . In the second half of the 16th century, the estate deteriorated, and financially weak lower nobles took turns as owners. Around 1590 Burian III. Trčka from Lípa Okrouhlice and joined the estate to his Světlá domain . The land register of 1591 shows that the villages Okrouhlice and Chlístov were in a bad state; the Okrouhlice Fortress threatened to collapse. In 1633 the Květinov and Věž estates were connected to Okrouhlice. After the murder of Adam Erdmann Trčka von Lípa, Emperor Ferdinand II confiscated his property and those of his father Jan Rudolf Trčka von Lípa on March 29, 1634 , the total estimated value of which was 4,000,000 guilders ; the confiscation patent was confirmed in May 1636 by the Reichshofrat in Vienna.

Ferdinand II had the rule of Světlá broken up into landed goods and sold them to his favorites. He sold the remaining part of the rule in 1636 to his chamberlain and war councilor Don Aldobrandini , who left it to the son of General Pappenheim , Grand Prior of the Maltese Wolf Adam zu Pappenheim . After his death there was a distribution of goods. The Pappenheimer heirs were estimated at 53,300 guilders Good Okrouhlice with detached from the rule Světlá villages Poděbaby, Veselice, Pansky Dvur, Novotného Dvůr, Olešná Lhota , Klanečná, Babice, Michalovice , Kvasetice , Květinov , Kojkovičky, Čekánov, Bratroňov, Jedouchov , Boňkov , Leština , Skála , Vadín and Zdislavice . In addition to the Rychta Okrouhlice, there were also the Rychta Olešná Lhota, Čekánov and Dvořáci ( Okrauhlitzer Höfler ). The villages around Krásná Hora and Veselý Žďár and Chlístov were not mentioned in this division of property; it is not known when these were connected to the Okrouhlice estate. On June 5, 1637, the Pappenheim heirs sold the Okrouhlice estate for 40,000 guilders to Philipp Adam zu Solms-Lich . After Swedish troops had occupied and devastated the area in 1639 and 1645, the Count zu Solms demanded the waiver of the outstanding purchase money of almost 16,500 guilders. Solms got into debt because of the high expenses to finance the imperial army and his life at the imperial court; around 1640 he had to sell the villages Věž, Květinov and Kojkovičky and pledge the Okrauhlitzer Höfler to the Lipnitz rule . It was not until October 1648 that the Swedes withdrew from Lipnice Castle . In the land register of 1668, the Pelestrov manor, deserted since the end of the 16th century, was listed as part of the Okrouhlice manor for the first time . In 1670 the widow Helena Elisabeth zu Solms-Lich, born Raschin von Riesenburg, inherited the Okrouhlice estate including the 24 farms around Deutschbrod ( Okrouhličtí Dvořáci ); she later married Ferdinand Rudolf von Waldstein and became co-owner of the Herálec estate . In 1674 she transferred the Okrouhlice estate to her husband. In 1680 he had a two-winged castle built as a widow's residence on the site of the old fortress. After the death of Ferdinand Rudolf von Waldstein, the Herálec and Okrouhlice estates were sold to Count Kornel in 1696. In 1708 Michael Achatius von Kirchner acquired the goods Pollerskirchen , Herálec and Okrouhlice with Věž; In the same year he left the Okrouhlice estate to Johann Peter Straka von Nedabylic and Libčan . He had the castle rebuilt; north of it he had a brewery built instead of the sheep farm. In his will, which was laid down in 1710, Straka ordered the establishment of the Straka Foundation for the establishment of a noble knight academy for young impoverished aristocrats. In addition to his estates Okrauhlitz, Liebtschan and Ober Weckelsdorf , whose value was estimated at 377,000 guilders, cash assets of 38,542 guilders also flowed into this .

On July 31, 1714, a downpour in the area of Žďár nad Sázavou and Polná led to a flash flood of the Šlapanka and Sázava, which left heavy damage in particular in Deutschbrod and Babice, but also in Okrouhlice. In Babice all houses were torn away, with 42 people disappearing with the floods. In Okrouhlice the mill and the bridge as well as some houses were destroyed, the water rose up to the castle garden. The wooden bell tower of the Deutschbroder Katharinenkirche with the two bells was washed ashore near Okrouhlice. After the flood had been removed, a 0.5 m high black mud layer with remains of buildings and fences remained on August 3rd.

After the Count Straka von Nedabylic family died out, the three estates were administered as the Count Straka Foundation from 1771 . Since the Straka Academy had not come into being, in 1782, by order of Emperor Joseph I, an annual scholarship was awarded from the proceeds of the three estates for studying Bohemian young men of the aristocratic class in all kk hereditary lands, that in the lower schools in the amount of 200 guilders and in the higher schools in the amount of 300 guilders was granted. The benefactor's relatives were the main beneficiaries, but also other young Bohemian nobles from the gentry and knighthood. The right of presentation was mutually due to the emperor and the Bohemian estates. In 1792 the three foundations were placed under the administration of the Bohemian Estates State Committee. At this time parts of the manor were parceled out and sold to family members. During the Napoleonic Wars , the granary was used as a hospital.

The founding authority Okrauhlitz, located in the Caslauer Kreis , comprised a usable area of ​​10,107 yoke 301 square fathoms in 1840. The forests belonging to the estate with an area of ​​1799 yoke 1095 square fathoms were cultivated by two forest districts in Skala and Pelestrow . All of the Meierhöfe that had existed in Okrauhlitz, Chhlistow, Saar, Pelestrow, Bezděkow, Papschikow and Nowotner Hof were emphyteutized . There lived in the villages Okrauhlitz, Krasnahora , Babitz ( Babice ), Wadin ( Vadín ), Chlistow ( Chlístov ), Mozolow ( Mozolov ), Čekanow ( Čekánov ), Březinka, Bratroniow ( Bratroňov ), Bezděkow ( Bezděkov ), Klane Klanečná ), Weselitz ( Veselice ), Poděbab ( Poděbaby ), Schmollow , Höflern , Saar , Skala , Jedauchow , Leschtina and Zdislawitz a total of 4501 Czech-speaking people, including one Helvetic and two Jewish families. The main source of income was agriculture as well as flax spinning and weaving. The village of Okrauhlitz consisted of 30 houses in which 258 people, including a Jewish family, lived. In the place there was an official castle with the office and the apartment of the director, a dominical brewery, a dominical brandy and a potash boiler, an inn and a three-speed mill with a board saw and an oil pounder. The Meierhof was emphyteutized and the land was temporarily leased. The parish was in Krasnahora. In 1846 the lordship had the roads from Wadin to Březinka and from Okrauhlitz to Lipnitz reconstructed; each subject had to pave 10 fathoms of road with rubble from the Wadin quarry. The castle chapel was desecrated in 1847. Until the middle of the 19th century, Okrauhlitz remained the official village of the foundations of the same name.

After the abolition of patrimonial Okrouhlice formed from 1849 a district of the municipality Veselý Žďár in the judicial district Deutschbrod . On January 7, 1861, the castle burned down. From 1868 the place belonged to the district Deutschbrod . In 1869 Okrouhlice had 274 inhabitants and consisted of 31 houses. On December 21, 1870, with the opening of the section between Goltsch-Jenikau and Deutschbrod by the Austrian Northwest Railway, the town received a connection to the railway network, which led to an economic boom. In 1876 Okrouhlice broke away from Veselý Žďár and formed its own municipality. In 1900 there were 312 people in Okrouhlice, in 1910 there were 356.

Attractions

  • Okrouhlice Castle, built in 1680 by Ferdinand Rudolf von Waldstein as a widow's seat for his wife, instead of a dilapidated fortress, of which only the Gothic portal in the tower remained . The one-story, two-winged building with an arcade courtyard, high tower, hall and castle chapel of St. Anna and a small landscaped garden were separated from the village square by a high wall. After 1708, Johann Peter Straka von Nedabylic had the castle rebuilt and a granary with a high gable added. He had the gardener Beránek redesign the palace garden. After Straka's death, the castle was incorporated into the Straka Foundation. In 1848 a stone well was built in the inner courtyard, which is supplied with water from a pond on the northern edge of the village. After the abolition of the manors, the castle served as a shelter for impoverished nobles. After the fire on January 7th, 1861 caused by a defective chimney, the castle was quickly rebuilt from the limited funds of the Straka Foundation in a simplified and highly functional form without stucco and with a simple tiled roof. Instead of the former chapel, offices were created. The castle tower was lowered by one story, the tower dome and the four tower clocks were not restored. On August 6th of the same year the tower received a new tin roof. After the First World War, the castle's rooms were rented out as apartments. After the Second World War, the Karlovarský porcelán company from Stará Role took over the castle and used the premises as a factory. The castle and the park were devastated during this time. Above the main entrance is the coat of arms of Count Straka von Nedabylic with the inscription Lidumil vlasti .
