Všenory Chateau

Founded in 1348, the construction works were directed by the later Karlštejn burgrave Vitus of Bítov, but there are no records of the builder himself. Some historian speculate that Matthias of Arras may be credited with being the architect, but he had already died by 1352. It is likely that there was not a progressive and cunning architect, but a brilliant civil engineer who dextrously and with a necessary mathematical accuracy solved technically exigent problems that issued from the emperor's ideas and requests. Instead, Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV personally supervised the construction works and interior decoration. A little known fact is that the Emperor hired Palestinian region labour for the remaining work. Construction was finished nearly twenty years later in 1365 when the "heart" of the treasury – the Chapel of the Holy Cross situated in the Great tower – was consecrated.
Following the outbreak of the Hussite Wars, the Imperial Regalia were evacuated in 1421 and brought via Hungary to Nuremberg. In 1422, during the siege of the castle, Hussite attackers used biological warfare when Prince Sigismund Korybut used catapults to throw dead (but not plague-infected) bodies and 2000 carriage-loads of dung over the walls, apparently managing to spread infection among the defenders.
Later, the Bohemian crown jewels were moved to the castle and were kept there for almost two centuries, with some short breaks. The castle underwent several reconstructions: in late Gothic style after 1480, in Renaissance style in the last quarter of the 16th century. In 1487 the Big tower was damaged by fire and during the 16th century there were several adaptations. During the Thirty Years' War in 1619, the coronation jewels and the archive were brought to Prague, and in 1620 the castle was turned over to Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor. After having been conquered in 1648 by Swedes, it fell in disrepair. Finally, a neo-Gothic reconstruction was carried out by Josef Mocker between 1887 and 1899, giving the castle its present look.

Karlštejn Castle

The owner of the estate, Servác Engel of Engelsfluss, commissioned the chateau to be built in 1656 - 1672, soon after the former fortress was burnt to the ground by the Swedes. It is a two-storey building around a square-shaped courtyard. The path from the square is guarded from a pair of lions standing at the ironwork gate. The portal is richly decorated with reliefs and masks, accompanied by the emblem of the Engels of Engelfluss.

Zbraslav Chateau

In 1785, the Zbraslav monastery was closed, and Komořany devolved to the secular trust, which sold the Komořany chateau, grounds and sheepfold to the Prince of Oettingen-Wallerstein 40 years later. In 1866, it was sold to an Albertan knight.
In the meantime, the Komořany cadastral municipality was created, and in the 19th century, they formed a shared political community with Točná. For that reason, in Malý Otto's dictionary of 1904, Komořany is listed simply as a chateau near the village of Točná. http://revolvy.com/

Králův Dvůr Chateau

The first written records of the estate are found in the register of the Vyšehrad priory of 1273. At that time it was a fort providing safe haven for local peasants from an armed attack. The Hussites lead by Jan Žižka of Trocnov took it in 1420 while rallying to the defence of Prague against Emperor Sigmunds army. The premises then passed into the ownership of the city of Prague, frequently changing occupiers throughout the 16th century. This may have caused its considerable neglect and by 1620 it was reported as deserted and derelict.
Following a period of serving as a spiritual retreat to the St. Havel Church in the Old City of Prague, and receiving further damage from religious wars between Catholics and Protestants, the estate was revived in 1627 by the Carmelite Knights Order who acquired it into their ownership by Emperor Ferdinand IIs decree of 27th April of that year. The entire premises of the St. Havel fort and settlement were one of two real estates granted to the Order, the other being a church in Vienna. The purpose of this gift was to provide the Knights with sufficient income to build a monastery attached to the St. Havel church. By then the Order had relaxed its strict rules and was allowed to own real estate. Their income from the estate, however, initially failed to provide adequate means and they were granted a ten-year permission to supplement their income by alms collection. A later improvement of their finances enabled the Carmelites to restore and enlarge their Krč estate and to establish their summer retreat here in impressive nature surroundings. A new chapel, built around that time, was dedicated to St. Havel and its religious services were open to the local population.
