Information panel: History of the castle
"The castle was built around 1300 by Odolen von Hustopeč. His descendants, the Lords of Egerberg, owned it until the mid-14th century. In 1352, the brothers Albrecht, Friedrich, and Dietrich von Schönburg received the castles of Püirstein and Egerberk as fiefs from the king. Before 1386, the castle was acquired by Heinrich Škopek von Dubá (-d. 1395), who extensively rebuilt it. His son, Heinrich the Younger, sold the castle to Nicholas Augustin of Prague, who probably hosted John Hus here around the turn of the year 1412/13. Nicholas soon sold the castle to Wend von Eulenburg. Around 1439, Wilhelm von Schönburg, the lord of nearby Neu Schönburg, seized the castle, captured Wend, and left him to starve to death in the cellar. Wilhelm sold the castle to the famous Hussite warrior Jakoubek of Viesovice. In 1457, the Lords of Eulenburg received the castle through a court ruling and sold it to BoS Vitzthum.
