Another owner was Peter Straka, who was captain of the Königingrätzer Kreis until his death in 1617. His eldest son Jindřich took over his inheritance. Jindřich Straka also exercised the reign of Adam Erdmann Trčka from Lípa . After his murder on the night of Eger's murder in 1634, not only Trčka's goods, but also those of Jindřich Straka were confiscated. The imperial colonel Štěpán Verfen de S. Muritio received Straka's goods for 30,000 guilders as thanks for his loyal service. Verfen sold Hermanitz and Wesetz in 1637 for 21,500 guilders to Octavio Piccolomini ; this connected it to his reign Nachod .
