The first written mention of Vrcov was in 1396. The owners of the largest part of the estate were the Lords of Vrcov. In addition, the Krumlov prelature , the Sviny parish , the Augustinian monastery Borovany and Vladiken von Petrovice later held further shares. The place was at the crossroads of two old trade routes. In 1519 the Rosenbergs acquired the share of the Lords of Vrcov. In 1586 Wilhelm von Rosenberg donated this part to the Jesuit College in Český Krumlov, which from 1626 combined it with the newly acquired Římov estate . After the abolition of the Jesuit order , both goods fell to the religious fund in 1773. In 1802, Prince Joseph II of Schwarzenberg bought Vrcov by auction , and in 1815 he sold the estate to Franz Lang, a citizen of Nettolitz . This sold Vrcov a little later to Joseph Ritter Pachner von Eggenstorf, who united it with the Poříč estate . In October 1839 Pachner von Eggenstorf sold the Poříč estate to the kk shipmaster Karl Adalbert Lanna , who owned it until 1854.
