Foundation of the castle by the
Valdštejn family
In the 13th century, near the confluence of the Brtnice and Jihlava rivers, stood Rokštejn Castle. Over time, however, it ceased to be suitable, partly because of its considerable distance from the town and partly because of its poor strategic position in the river valley. During the Hussite Wars, relations between the Valdštejn family of Brtnice and Jihlava deteriorated, and the garrison at Rokštejn began attacking merchants from Jihlava and even took part in a raid on the town. In retaliation, between 1423 and 1436 Rokštejn Castle was captured, partially destroyed, and subsequently abandoned.
