Nečemice Fortress

The Nečemic fortress is located near Tuchořice in the Louny district and is a Renaissance object with a rich history. This monument was mentioned for the first time around 1400, but its roots go further into the past. It originally served as a seat of a minor genus and later lost its residential function in order to become a purely economic object. Today it has been protected as a cultural monument since 1964.

The history of the Nečemic fortress dates back to the mid-14th century, when the flags Lev, Blažej, Pešek and Zvěst were mentioned in the village. The first written clauses on its existence come from the years 1350-1369. The fortress was at that time the mannequin of the chateau of Osoka for Pashka of Nečemice, which is mentioned around 1417 with his son Michel of Nečemice. In the middle of the 15th century, the fortress became owned by Děřich z Žďár, who held it until 1535. Then the estate was left to Zdeněc Hasistenský from Fictum Bohuslav from Lobkovic.

Over the following years, the Nečemická fortress has passed through a number of owners. After John Waldemar Hasistelns of Lobkovic, who inherited her from her father, she switched to his brother George Popel of Lobkovic. In 1594, he was convicted of treason and lost all his property, which led to the fort and other villages being transferred to the Royal Chamber. Shortly afterwards, Nečemice was acquired by purchase by Divis Hrobčický from Hrobčice and his son Kryštof.

In 1601-1620, the fort became a separate estate owned by Karel Hruška from Brno. Some sources indicate that since 1614 he was the owner of Bohuslav Hrobčický from Hrobčice, whose property was confiscated for participation in the State Uprising. In 1623 he bought the estate Vratislav z Mitrovic for 55600 kicks.

An architectural example of the Renaissance style, which was newly built or renovated at the time, is the Nečemická fortress. The purchase agreement from 1624 describes the upper and underground rooms. The preserved building has a rectangular plan with risalite in the north facade and supports at the eastern corners. Inside, there were preserved rooms with vaulted vaults.

The fort building was damaged during the 30-year war, which led to its desolation. In 1812, Josef Schwarzenberg had the farm yard modified and the new residential building was built on the site of the original fortress using its older walls. The peak was no longer based at the time of Lobkovice's fortress.

Today, the Nečemická fortress is a protected cultural monument and represents an interesting historical object that testifies to the region's rich past. Its architectural elements and history of owners make it a valuable place to visit. It is possible to appreciate not only the monument itself but also its location in the picturesque area near Tuchořice.
