The role of the Vartenberg-dynasty in the beginning of the history of the town Stráž pod Ralskem
Panošková, Tereza ; Scholz, Stefan (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
The region of Ceskolipsko, during the early medieval period, is one of the least described in historical texts. But there were influential trade routes here too, so castles were built along them. These castles were built by the House of Vartenberk which was one of the most prominent royal houses of this period. Nevertheless, current literature does not provide a comprehensive depiction of their influence and the information provided conflicts itself. This work focuses on landmarks in the town Straz pod Ralskem which is tightly related to the House of Vartenberk. This includes the Vartenberk Castle, St. Zikmund Church and marginally also the Ralsko Castle. These are described from the historical, art historical and architectural point of view in detail. The source of information contradiction about this period is the nonexistence of foundation charters. Information for this work was obtained through a critical comparison of primary sources. The goal of this work is to create a comprehensive depiction of individual landmarks by collecting all available information.
