Bohemian, Moravian, Silesian

High on a rocky spur overshadowing the vast expanse of the Vranov reservoir, stands the picturesque castle of the same name. Its foundation goes back to the 11th century when it served as one of the elements of the defensive system associated with the frontier river Dyje. In 1323 it was given in pledge to Jindřich of Lipá, a prominent supporter of Eliška, the last of the Přemysl clan. From 1421 it was in the ownership of the Lichtenburg clan, which carried out only minor adjustments to the building. In 1618, at the start of the revolt of the Estates, it fell to the Althan family who soon sold it but obtained it again after 1680, holding onto it for a longer period. To them is due the extensive rebuilding which turned a medieval abode into an elegant Baroque castle. The church of the Most Holy Trinity,was built in 1698 - 1700. Late in the 18th century the entire castle was furnished in the classical style. The Althan estates prospered considerably from the manufacture of ceramics during the years 1799 - 1882.
