History & geography

History

The first written mention of Bavorov is from 1228. The town was founded by the Bavor of Strakonice family. The most important for the town was Jan Bavor III, who settled in Bavorov in 1315 and who had built the square and the surrounding streets. In 1351, the Rosenberg family acquired Bavorov. Bavorov was the seat of the estate until 1355, when the Helfenburk Castle was built. The Rosenberg family owned the town until 1593, when Peter Vok of Rosenberg sold all the Helfenburk estate to Prachatice. After the Battle of White Mountain, properties of Prachatice were confiscated, and in 1621 the royal chamber donated Bavorov to the Eggenberg family. In 1719, the Schwarzenberg family inherited the town.
