Rabštejn was first mentioned in 1269. In 1308 Udalrich von Pflugk had the parish church of St. Apostle Matthew erect, probably a church already existed before. In 1337 the place received city rights. In 1483 the Lords of Guttenstein founded the Carmelite Monastery of the Annunciation, which burned down in 1532. In 1549 the castle and the entire town burned down, and all documents were lost. The other owners of the estate included Count Schlik since 1518 , the Lords of Schwanberg on Přimda between 1564 and 1573 and then again Count Schlik. These sold the Rabenstein manor in 1578 as a joint property to Georg von Kokořov on Šťáhlavy and Žlutice and Jaroslav von Kolowrat -Liebsteinsky on Petersburg . After the Battle of the White Mountain , Joachim Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky's goods were confiscated and passed to the court chamber . In 1631 Albrecht von Waldstein acquired the Rabstein rule. After his murder, it was again confiscated in 1634 and given away to Leonhard Helfried von Meggau in 1642 by Emperor Ferdinand II . His heirs sold the Rabenstein manor in 1665 for 60,000 guilders to Sebastian Graf von Pötting. In 1666 Sebastian von Pötting and his wife Esther Candida, née von Oppersdorf, founded a Servite monastery instead of the Carmelite monastery that had burned down. In 1671 Sebastian von Pötting had the Loretto Chapel built. In 1701 the parish church dedicated to the Apostle Matthew was repaired and expanded.
Franz Karl von Pötting, Sebastian's youngest son, acquired the property after the death of his older brothers and had the castle built in 1705. In 1715 he sold Rabenstein for 129,000 guilders to Franz Joseph Czernin von Chudenitz , who attached the estate to his rule in Petersburg.

After the dissolution of the Servite monastery in 1787, the monastery church became the new parish church, the again dilapidated church of St. Matthew was later demolished. The former monastery served as a rectory and parish school. In 1819 the defense tower of Rabenstein Castle collapsed into the monastery courtyard and destroyed the parish stable and granary.
