During the Hussite Wars , the Catholic school went out and lessons continued in the manor house from 1419. In 1493, Nicholas the Younger Trčka von Lípa acquired the Vildštejn castle including the surrounding villages, including Seč. Seč was first referred to as a town in 1499. In 1556 the brothers Albrecht and Wenzel bought Robenhaupt von Sucha (Robmhap ze Suché) Seč. Since 1580 Seč had the embarrassing jurisdiction IV class. In 1583 Albrecht Brückner von Bruckstein acquired Seč. Karel Záruba von Hustířan bought the place from his son of the same name in 1593. After the battle of the White Mountain , the Záruba had to leave Bohemia and in 1620 they sold their property to the imperial lieutenant Francois de Couriers on Nassaberg . In the Thirty Years' War Seč became deserted and the berní rula shows 38 farms for the place, eight of which were desolate. In 1660 the place was known for pearl fishing in the Chrudimka.
