The first mention of Poběžovice is in connection with Zdeněk of Poběžovice , who is documented in the years 1359-1373. In 1424 the place was raised to a market town and in 1502 to a town. During this time the owner Dobrohost von Poběžovice also built the castle and a church and renamed the town Ronšperk (German Ronsperg). The church fell victim to the conflagration of 1632 and was then rebuilt in its current form.

From 1542 to 1621 the city belonged to the Lords of Schwanberg (Švamberk), later to the Lords of Wunschwitz and in the 19th century the Counts of Thun and Hohenstein . Around 1680, Matthias Gottfried von Wunschwitz was one of the Lords of Wunschwitz, who took in the sculptor Johann Brokoff , who had fled the plague from Prague , and who donated the Nepomuk statue made by him as a wooden model based on a plaster model by Matthias Rauchmüller , which was made in Nuremberg in 1683 Bronze was cast and placed on Charles Bridge in Prague in 1693 . In the Habsburg Monarchy , Ronsperg was the seat of a district court ( judicial district Ronsperg ) in the Bischofteinitz district from the middle of the 19th century . The judicial district of Ronsperg was German-speaking.

After the First World War , the region was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia . Due to the Munich Agreement of 1938, Ronsperg was incorporated into the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Bischofteinitz , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland .

Until 1945, Ronsperg Castle was the seat of the Imperial Counts of Coudenhove-Kalergi . The predominantly German population until 1945 was almost completely expelled .
