Drobovice: Traces of the Teutonic Order

Drobovice in the Czech Republic is associated with a medieval commandery of the Teutonic Order. However, visitors should not expect to see castle ruins there.

On site and in the surrounding area

• The commandery was founded around 1240 by Jan z Polné.
• Drobovice was first mentioned in 1242, when King Wenceslaus I confirmed the Order’s ownership of the property.
• In 1421, Hussites destroyed the commandery.
• Today, no remains of the commandery or its fortifications are visible above ground.

Plan your stay

The history is suited to a carefully planned visit to the area, not to a promised tour of ruins. Compare holiday homes by address, travel options, and actual listing features; the historical sources do not provide evidence of accommodation.
