Because of his participation in the Bohemian uprising , he was expropriated after the Battle of White Mountain . In 1624 Schildberg was handed over to the loyal governor Karl I of Liechtenstein , from whom his son Karl Eusebius of Liechtenstein inherited it in 1627 . In the Thirty Years War , Schildberg was sacked by the Swedes in 1646 and by the Prussian army in the Second Silesian War in 1744. In the years 1681, 1799 and 1802 it was destroyed by city fires. During the rule of the Liechtensteiners , the Counter Reformation was carried out and Schildberg was incorporated into the Eisenberg rule .
