Pschitoky Locations

Text

The first written mention of the village Pschitoky dates back to 1141, according to which it was in possession of the Olomouc archdiocese. In 1249, Pschitoky was briefly held by Havel of Löwenberk, and a year later the Olomouc bishop Bruno of Schauenberk ceded the village to the Sedletz Monastery.
In the 14th century, the farmstead and part of the village belonged to various patrician families from Kuttenberg, such as Ondřej Puša, under whom a Gothic fortress was added. In 1397, Wenceslas Bartosch (Václav Bartoš) became the owner, and pledged to pay a permanent fee to the Kuttenberg almshouse from the farmstead.
After the Hussite Wars, Hanush Ferydan held Pschitoky, burdening the farmstead and fortress with many debts which he refused to pay, so in 1443 the chief mint master decided that Hanush and his descendants ‘from now and for all time’ had to pay 50 dozen groschen to the Kuttenberg almshouse every year. The last burgher to own Pschitoky was Voršila Cihelníková, who sold the estate to Václav Materna of Květnice in 1501. The Maternas rebuilt the Gothic fortress in the Renaissance style.
To this day, only the Gothic vaulted cellar remains, though in a very poor condition.
