history
According to the Chronicle of Bohemia by Václav Hájek z Libočan , the princely family of the Vršovci should come from Vršovice. However, this assumption cannot be proven. The first written mention of the place took place in 1268, when King Ottokar II. Přemysl had previously confiscated the Vršovice manor from Vladiken Něpro Boruta to the Prague bishop Johann III as part of an exchange of goods . handed over. In 1331 Bishop John IV of Dražice sold the estate to Zdeslav of Kyšice. The following owners were from 1367 Jan Koryto from Vršovice and his son of the same name. When he died in 1381, Vršovice fell to King Wenceslaus IV . In 1389 Aleš von Slavětín bought the estate. He was followed by Petr von Vršovice, from whom Rydkéř von Polensko inherited it in 1396. The water festival was mentioned for the first time in an appraisal of the rule in 1419.
In 1477 Nikolaus von Polensko bequeathed the rule to Albrecht von Kolowrat on Nový Hrad . Later Purkart Kaplirz de Sulewicz widow Epiplanie "Ofka" from Miloňovice acquired the rule, which she sold in 1517 to the Launer citizen Václav Sokol von Mory. Sokol bought the castle and the town of Slavětín to the Vršovice manor. Because of his constant quarrels, Sokol was banished from the city of Laun. In 1589 Jan the Elder sold J. Sokol von Mory passed the rule to Jakub Zákostelský von Bílejov, a citizen of Laun.
Prokop Dvořecký von Olbramowitz, who had acquired Vršovice in 1615, expanded the rule to include the Chožov farm with the villages of Počedělice , Kystra and Třtěno. He was executed as one of the leaders of the Estates uprising in Bohemia on June 21, 1621 in the Old Town Square in Prague . The rule of Vršovice was sold in 1622 to the imperial master craftsman Wolf Illburg von Vřesovice and his brother Wilhelm von Vřesovice. The brothers had the water fortress redesigned into a renaissance castle and got into debt considerably. After the death of his brother, Wilhelm von Vřesovice had to cede the rule to his creditor Benigna Katharina Lobkowicz in 1634 . Her grandson and heir Wolf Adam zu Pappenheim died in a duel near Prague in 1647. In 1663 Anna Sylvia Caretto bought the estate for 42,000 guilders from Pappenheim's widow Maria Esther. She died the following year and her widower Leopold Wilhelm von Baden-Baden inherited the rule. He was followed by his son of the same name, who remained unmarried and died in 1716. His inheritance fell to Margrave Ludwig Georg Simpert of Baden . Between 1735 and 1736 he had the palace redesigned in baroque style. Under the hunters Louis one was pheasant with thousands of pheasants, and on the castle large hunts were organized.
In the years 1757, 1759 and 1762 Prussian troops occupied the castle. In 1761, Margrave August Georg Simpert inherited the rule. Ten years later he died without descendants, so that Ludwig Georg's daughter Elisabeth Augusta inherited the rule, which she left to her cousin Johann I. Fürst zu Schwarzenberg in 1783 . The princes of Schwarzenberg also used the castle for hunting.
After the abolition of patrimonial Vršovice / Wrschowitz formed a political municipality in the Louny district from 1850 . The castle with the courtyard belonged to the Schwarzenberg princes until the land reform of 1924. After the Second World War, the castle was transferred to the Local National Committee (MNV) and the castle was converted into a residential building. Between 1976 and 1991 Vršovice was incorporated into Louny. In the winter of 2002 a flood of the Eger flooded the fields of the village.
