History & geography

History

The first written mention of Úsov is from 1260. The castle was built around 1250. Before 1487 the Lords of Vlašim modified the castle. In the 16th century, Úsov was in the possession of the lords of Boskovice, and in 1597 it was acquired by the Liechtenstein family. The Liechtensteins owned the castle until 1945. The castle was damaged during the Swedish occupation in 1643. During the rule by Prince Hans-Adam I of Liechtenstein, in 1692–1699, it was reconstructed and partially rebuilt into a large three-storey Baroque residence, designed by Domenico Martinelli. Presence of the Jews in the town was first documented in 1564. The Jewish quarter was established in 1589. In 1609, the community warranted its first rabbi. However, in 1643, the developing community was affected by the invasion of Swedish troops, which caused many loss of life. Around 1645, the cemetery was established. The synagogue destroyed during the war was replaced by a new one in 1688. In the late 17th century, the community lived under the protection of Prince of Liechtenstein, and in the 1700s, the number of families reached 110. As a result of antisemitic tensions, a conflict ensued in 1721 and the synagogue had to be demolished in 1722.
