Wratislaws of Mitrovice
0Wratislaws of Mitrovice (;) is a Czech noble family. The first mentioned member of the family is Wratislaw, who acquired the estate of Mitrovice in 1448. The family gradually gained significance during the 16th century. In the 17th and 18th century, various family members held a number of offices in state administration and diplomacy as well as in the Catholic church. They also built or rebuilt multiple castles and palaces, including the Wratislaws' palace in Prague.
After the Communist party of Czechoslovakia seized power in 1948, the Wratislaws were forced to give up most of their properties. Part of their family emigrated to New Zealand. The other half of the family from Koloděje nad Lužnicí Castle emigrated to Canada. Only Dírná Castle was returned to them after the Velvet revolution of 1989 and they own it to this day.
