Talmberk Castle was founded by Hroznata of Úžice from the Moravian Kounic family sometime after 1284. He was the Purgrave of Prague Castle and for his services to King Wenceslas II he was given the territory north of the Sázava River, around Úžice. The first written record of the castle dates back to 1291, when the property was divided among the sons of Hroznata. The castle and the farm were then given to Arnošt, who completed it. From the middle of the 16th century it is mentioned as deserted.
