history
Georg Ritter von Flondor (1761–1797), married to Anna von Stryszka (Strâşca) († 1854), was the founder of the second family line. The goods around Hlinitza fell to him. The castle was built there in the last third of the 19th century.
The Bucharest papers publish a letter from the Romanian landowner in Bukovina, Emanuel Ritter von Flondor, on whose Hlinitza estate the Russians carried out destruction work. The work of destruction began with the shooting of more than 600 shrapnel at the farmhouse. After the withdrawal of the Austrian troops, the Russians went to work: the furnishings were smashed, the valuables were stolen, all the farm equipment, then the horses, cows and oxen were taken away.
During the fighting for the liberation of Chernivtsi in August 1917, the castle was destroyed by the Russian troops as they retreated.
