Hauenštejn

The first known owner was Mikuláš Winkler, burgrave of Loket Castle, who sold Hauenštejn to the monastery in Doksany.

[1] The rich family of Šlik that started silver mining near Jáchymov won the castle in the 16th century.

In 1663, the Šliks sold the castle to the Saxe-Lauenburg ducal family and it became part of the Ostrov domain.

Ferdinand Buquoy continued the reconstruction under the influence of historism, taking its examples from England (Windsor, Arundel, Belvoir, Lancaster or Oxford) and Bavaria (Hohenswangau, Lahneck).

[1] After the war, it was confiscated by the state and the communists made it an accommodation for the uranium miners in Jáchymov, and then for a youth organisation.
