History
The first written mention of Pozořice is in a deed of Pope John XXII from 1318.[1] It belonged to the Vildenberk estate, owned by Lords of Vildenberk. In 1371, they sold the estate to Jobst of Moravia. In 1402, when the Vildenberk Castle was already abandoned, Petr of Kravaře bought Pozořice. Lords of Kravaře sold Pozořice to Boček of Otaslavice in 1444 and then the owners often changed, which lasted until 1637. From 1637 to 1920, Pozořice was a property of the Liechtenstein family.[2]
