history
The first written mention of Rájec took place in 1131 in a document of the Olomouc bishop Heinrich Zdik . According to the chronicler Cosmas of Prague , Rájec is said to have belonged to Zdik's ancestors. In the immediate vicinity of the village there were two castles in the Middle Ages, one of which was on the Na Hradisku corridor and the other on the site of the castle. Both castles were probably destroyed at the end of the 14th century in the power struggle between Margrave Jobst of Moravia and his brother Prokop . In 1370 Všebor and Heřman von Rájec can be traced back to the Brno Regional Court as scoops. They come from the Vladiken family of Lelekovice , who acquired the title of Rájec after purchasing the goods in Rájec . Všebor from Rájec and Lelekovice is also the founder of the village of Šeborov . Ješek Puška von Kunstadt and Ottaslawitz owned parts of Rájec since 1375 , ten years later he was the sole owner of the estate. In 1412 his son Heralt Puška von Doubrawitz and Ottaslawitz sold the estate including the two desert castles to his cousin Aleš von Kunstadt on Lysice . He pawned Rájec shortly afterwards to Jan von Lomnice. From 1418 Jindřich von Rájec can be traced as the owner of a small share in Rájec, as well as from 1437 Hanušek von Rájec and Valeč. Most of the goods were bought in 1437 by the Olomouc bishop Paul von Miličin and Talmberg and his brother Wilhelm. In 1464 the Talmberg family sold the goods to the brothers Bedřich, Bohuš and Petr Drnovský from Drnovice . Bernard Drnovský acquired the rule Hohlenstein in 1567 and joined them to Rájec.
