History
The first written mention of Chlum u Třeboně is from 1399. From the beginning of the 15th century until 1508, the estate was owned by the Rosenberg family. In 1505–1575, the estate was a property of the Krajíř of Krajek family. During their rule, establishment of fishponds in the area began and a fortress in Chlum was built. The next notable owners of Chlum were the Slavata family (1615–1693) and the Counts of Fünfkirchen (1693–1834). The Fünfkirchens significantly affected the local economy. Glass making was established here in the mid-18th century and production of iron started in 1796. From 1834 to 1861, Chlum was owned by Counts of Stadion. During their rule, in 1857, Chlum was promoted to a market town. In 1861, they sold the estate to Francis V, Duke of Modena. In 1875, Chlum was inherited by Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. He had stopped all the industrial activity in the market town, had rebuilt the local castle into its present form and used it as a summer residence.
