State Chateau Lysice

At the time when the estate was owned by Emmauel of Piati, peasant riots were taking place due to reckless and cruel labor duties. This happened in 1774. The owner ignored the rights of his subjects, even at the time when the patent for the abolition of slavery was issued in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. However, the peasants did not give up hope for a turn for the better and in 1783 the lords stood with weapons in hand. However, the owner quickly summoned an army and there was a cruel bloodshed, when the leadership of the insurgents died during the fight, or they put them in a dungeon for a long time. Dubští, who became successful in economic, social and cultural areas, became important owners. The estate prospered at this time. Thanks to Beneš's decrees, the chateau was nationalized and the first visitors were able to come to see the interiors right after 1947.
