History
The first written mention of Teplice nad Bečvou under its old name Zbrašov is from 1328. One half of the village belonged to Helfštýn and later to Hranice estate and one half was owned by the Hradisko Monastery. In 1491, Vilém II of Pernštejn bought Zbrašov from Hradisko Monastery and annexed it to his Hranice estate.[1]
Zbrašov was then held by Václav Haugwitz of Biskupice (in 1547–1553) and by Jan Kropáč Sr. of Nevědomí (1553–1571). In 1553, Jan Kropáč of Nevědomí had the most abundant thermal springs brought to one place and thus laid the foundations of the local spa. After the Battle of White Mountain, Zbrašov was acquired by Franz von Dietrichstein. The Dietrichstein family owned the estate until 1923.[1]
