History & geography

History

The Rabí Castle was founded probably between 1124 and 1173. The first written mention of Rabí is from 1373, when the so-called Horní město ('upper town') and Dolní město ('lower town') were mentioned. The first mention of the owners of Rabí is from 1380, when it was the property of the nobleman Půta Švihovský of Rýzmberk. In 1420, the castle surrendered to the large army of Jan Žižka, then the castle was looted and burned. The castle was then reconstructed, but in 1421 it was again conquered by the Hussites and Jan Žižka lost his second eye here.
