History
The first written mention of Bučovice is from 1322. However, a stone church stood here already in the 13th century. In the late 14th century, it was referred to as a market town with vineyards. In the 16th century, Bučovice prospered and developed. The owner of the estate Jan Šembera Černohorský of Boskovice had built here one of the most magnificent Renaissance residences in Moravia. The castle was finished by his son-in-law Maximilian of Liechtenstein in the 1630s. During the Thirty Years' War in 1645, Bučovice was looted and damaged by the Swedish troops, but the castle was defended.
