history
The place was first mentioned in 1230 and belonged to the Knights of Heraltitz ( von Heroltsdorf , von Heralticz ) until the end of the 14th century . The fort they built was first mentioned by name in 1377 when the Duchy of Opava was divided, when Heraltitz was incorporated into the Duchy of Jägerndorf . The subsequent owners included the Lords of Drahotusch ( z Drahotuš ), von Füllstein and the Birka von Nassiedel ( Bírka z Násile ). In 1522, Heraltitz came to Bernhard von Würben , who, with the consent of the Bohemian King Ludwig II. , Had it entered in the Troppauer Landtafeln in 1525 .
At the end of the 16th century, the Counts of Würben converted the fort into a Renaissance castle. In 1600, Stefan von Würben sold Großherrlitz to Sigismund the Elder. J. Sedlnitzky von Choltitz , from whom it passed in 1611 to Bohuslav Pawlowský von Pawlowitz ( Bohuslav Pavlovský z Pavlovic ) and after his death was acquired by Wenzel Freiherr von Oppersdorf . His son Wenzel Ignaz sold Großherrlitz in 1668 to the Moravian chief judge Georg Stefan von Würben. Around 1676 he initiated the baroque reconstruction of the palace. In 1694 he sold the Großherrlitz rule to the Cistercian monastery Velehrad . During his reign around 1720, a terrace-like flower and fruit tree garden and a pheasantry were laid out near the castle. In 1767 the monastery sold the Großherrlitz rule to the Counts of Würben due to a right of first refusal. Eugen von Würben arranged for the palace to be redesigned, with numerous halls being decorated with Rococo stucco. An orangery was built at the beginning of the 19th century and an English park with exotic trees was laid out around 1830. In 1840 the Mitrowsky von Nemischl family acquired the Großherrlitz estate, and Wilhelmine Kinsky in 1849 .
After the abolition of patrimonial Großherrlitz belonged to the district administration Troppau from 1850, which came to the newly founded Czechoslovakia in 1918 . From 1899 until the expropriation in 1945, the palace and the associated goods were owned by the Counts Bellegarde , who built a palace chapel in the neo-Gothic style around 1900 .
After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Groß Herrlitz was added to the German Reich and belonged to the Freudenthal district in 1939 and then to the Troppau district until 1945 . After the Second World War, it returned to Czechoslovakia in 1945.
