history

The Proseč settlement was established in the middle of the 12th century and belonged first to the Benedictine monastery of Litomyšl and later to the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice . In 1368 Proseč received town charter, in 1421 the monastery was destroyed during the Hussite Wars and later not renewed. Between 1436 and 1557 the town belonged to Lord Kostka von Postupitz . The captain of the Chrudim district, Zdeniek Kostka von Postupitz, had a new castle built between 1450 and 1465 on the hill above Boží Dům as the rulership center, which he called Nový hrad . Subsequent owners of the Nový hrad estate were from 1559 Jan Žatecky von Weikersdorf, from 1580 the Popel von Lobkowitz , from 1604 the Barons von Trautson and from 1749 the Counts Harbuval-Chamaré . Between 1774 and 1777, Neuschloß Castle was built as the new mansion .

In 1866 the city was plundered by Prussian troops, after the city fire of 1868 the previous wooden houses were largely replaced by stone houses. In 1935 Proseč became widely known for a short time because the town granted citizenship to the brothers Heinrich and Thomas Mann, who had been expelled by the National Socialists . Since March 17th, 2011 Proseč is a town again.
