The local fortified manor, predecessor of the later château, was founded by the Templars, who established their first Moravian commandery here. It is first mentioned in 1248 and last in 1308, four years before the order’s dissolution. The first commander for Moravia was Fridrich, as recorded in a report of 1243.
