The Town
The settlement around the castle was promoted to a little town (mestecko in Czech) probably around 1300. In 1601 it gained a full town status. The town burned down completely on 1834-09-13 - 118 houses, the town hall and the bell tower were destroyed and therefore most buildings in the town come from after that event.
The Castle
Although the area has been inhabited since the 6th century, the first written record of Blatna dates back to 1235, when probably just a wooden fortress built on a rocky piece of land in the middle of a marshland (blata in old Czech, hence the name Blatna - A Marshy Place) existed. Not much is known about the castle until the second half of the 13th century, when it becomes the property of the house of Bavorove of Strakonice. There exists a legend that in those times the fortress was a seat of the Templars who are said to have hidden a treasure somewhere in the castle.
The only remaining construction from this period are the foundations of a Romanesque chapel. From 1391 the castle and then already existing town belonged to the house of Lvove (i.e. Lions) of Rozmital. Under the new masters the fortress was for the first time rebuilt in stone (the oldest parts being the tower and Rozmitalsky Palace) and the surrounding marshes were changed into wide water trenches, thus giving the castle the looks of "A swan sitting in a lake". Their long rule marks the golden age of this place. Lvove were continuously rebuilding and enlarging the castle, first with the so called Old Palace, standing separatedly over the remnants of the Romanesque Chapel.
In 1523 - 1530, under the guidance of renowned royal builder Benedikt Ried of Piesting (or Benedikt Rejt of Pistov), a new palace in a mixed Gothic-Renaissance style was appended (it is named after Rejt these days).
In the second half of the 17 century, the castle was owned by the house of Sternberkove for a short time until it was bought by the Polish house of Rozdrazovsti of Rozdrazov in 1579 who had a new Renaissance palace built. During their rule, the castle and town were looted. The Baroque period is marked by the Hungarian house of Serenyi who had the castle rebuilt (namely after the big fire in 1763) and also erected many statues in he town and its surroundings. They also completely rebuilt the church in Pastiky.
Since 1798, the castle has belonged to the Tyrolian house by origin of Hildprandtove of Ottenhausen, except the period of communist dictatorship (1948 - 1989) when it was confiscated by the state. In 1850 - 1856 the castle received its last rebuilt, in English Gothic style, which gave it its contemporary looks.
The castle is now being restored with most of the works finished. It is still open for tourists, together with the magnificent landscape garden.
