History

The first written mention of Kostelec na Hané is in a deed of bishop Jindřich Zdík from 1141. In the 13th century, it was owned by Duke Nicholas I as a part of the Plumlov estate. He sold the estate to King John of Bohemia in 1311, who sold it to the Lords of Kravaře in 1325. The Lords of Kravaře held it to 1466. In 1466, the estate was acquired by marriage by Herald of Kunštát, and after his death in 1490 it was acquired by the Pernštejn family. In 1595, the estate passed into possession of the House of Liechtenstein, who held it until 1848.[2]
