For the year 1375 a castle is occupied. End of the 15th century was Liblice in possession of John of Liblitz, who was married to Catherine of Kdulinec Ostroměř ( Kdulinec z Ostroměře ). Their daughter, Joan of Liblitz ( Johanka z Liblic, † 1515) brought the rule Liblitz in their marriage to the Colonel Country Marshal Wilhelm II of Pernštejna as a dowry into the marriage, but they soon sold to Messrs. Smiřický of Smiřice. 1544 came Liblitz to the gender of the Vliněves. In 1669 it acquired the Prague Castle and Colonel Count Landrichter of Bohemia, Daniel Norbert Pacht of Reihofen.
