    The castle Waldheim was until 1807 in the possession of Prince Lobkowitz. In 1830 Malowetz built a family tomb in Malowitz. In 1902 the last son of Baron von Malowitz was buried in this tomb. In 1919, the crypt was broken up and never closed again. In 1942, the remains in the cemetery of Jedlina were reburied to the last rest.

      From 1884 onwards, the castle fell into disrepair, with the last burial in the crypt not taking place until 1902. In 1919, the crypt was forcibly opened by unknown persons and was not closed again after that. The mortal remains that were still there were finally buried in the Neulosimthal cemetery in 1942 - this is stated on an information board that the OWV Georgenberg put up next to the ruins in 2013.
