Early medieval sacral architecture in the Písek region- revision and analysis
NOVODVORSKÝ, Petr
Písecko is one of the South Bohemian regions where considerable building activity was carried out in the early Middle Ages. At that time, the efforts to colonise the uninhabited and vast forested landscape gave rise to several important cultural centres. The oldest of these emerged at the end of the 12th century in Milevsko. The influential Grand Duke George founded a monastery here, which he filled with a convent of the Premonstratensian Order. There was a workshop at the monastery, which influenced the construction activity of the surrounding area. As a result, a number of rural churches were built in the landscape, the morphology of which is often indicative of the participation of the workshop. Around the middle of the 13th century, another important cultural centre appeared in southern Bohemia, connected with the spread of monarchical power and the founding activities of King Přemysl Otakar II. The founding of the town of Písek and the major expansion of Zvíkov Castle required the construction of another South Bohemian building workshop, referred to in literature as the Písek-Zvíkov workshop. Its influence also reached the area around Milevsko, where the churches analysed and mapped in this thesis are located in the form of a catalogue. It will also include a review of the issue of the so-called Písek-Zvíkov workshop as it was formulated in Czech research more than forty years ago. On the basis of building-historical research and formal analysis of the buildings, the question of the influence of the building workshops should be clarified and an attempt should be made to place the South Bohemian buildings in a corresponding Central European context.

The Zvíkov Dominion up until the End of the Middle Ages
Procházková, Žaneta ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
The bachleor thesis focuses on the castle Zvíkov and it's surrounding domain in the time of late Middle Age and early Renaissance. I would like to focus on the period between the first contact of the Zvíkov domain and the Rožmberk family in 1307 to it's sale to the Švamberk family in 1473. The castle was built on the rock above the counfluence of the Otava and Vltava rivers in 13th century. Position on the top of the rock was advantagous against potential threat. The Castle architecture is connected with the regin of the kings Wenceslas I. and Otakar II. In the beginning of the 14th century was the castle under influence of Jindřich of Rožmberk. Later at the time of Charles IV. was Zvíkov selected as temporary storage of the Crown Jewels. The most important period in Zvíkov history is the time of Oldřich II. of Rožmberk. Oldřich was extremly interested in the castle and in the end used forged papers to own it. The castle was part of the Rožmberk domain till it's sale to Bohuslav of Švamberk in 1473. Together with the history of Zvíkov I would also like to focus on the cultural development, political and economical situation of the castle and the surrounding domain.
