1.1 Read the text: The House of Larisch came to Upper Silesia in the 13 century propably being the part of the entourage of Bruno of Schauenburg. In the course of the following centuries the House branched with its descendants forming several lines. Primarily the House of Larisch of Lhota is related to the Czech Lands. The House could be found in the region of Těšín in 16 century, when the Judge of Provincial Court of Těšín, Jiří Larisch of Lhota became the owner of the town of Karviná in 1551 by his marriage to Žofie Rutzky of Rutz and founded the line of House Larisch of Lhota and Karviná. The knights of Larisch were elevated to the rank of free lords of Bohemia by a decree of the Emperor Ferdinand III in 1654 with the predicate „of Lhota and Karviná“ and to the rank of Counts of Bohemia by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria in 1748. In 1791 Johann Joseph Anton, Count of Larisch married Anna Marie Tekla of Mönnich. After the union of the two houses, the Larisch and their descendants began to use the name of Larisch-Mönnich and acquired a new coat of arms for the family alliance.

This marriage enlarged the estate of karviná by adding the houses and lands of Rychvald, Polanka, Jistebník, Studénka, Dubovec, Hažlach and Záblatí, in 1792 Johann Joseph Anton purchased the estates of Fryštát and Německá Lutyně and the houses and lands of Dolní Životice and Stanislavice. The estate of Karviná included 6 watermills, 11 farms, 4 sheepfolds, a coal mine, a brewery and several other buildings.The main source of income for the House of Larisch at the time was primarly based on the agricultural production.The Count placed much hope and large investments with industrial enterprises in general and coal minig. After Johann´s death(1820) his eldest son Heinrich Wenzel Mathias assumed charge of the Larisch family property. When Count Heinrich died in Florence in 1859 the house property passed to his eldest son Johann Baptista Heinrich. After the death of Count Johann in 1884, the family property passed to his eldest son and heir Heinrich Count Larisch-Mönnich.He also renewed the ties to the family´s ancient home at Fryštát, where he was married on 25 November 1871.He married his cousin, Henrietta Countess Larisch-Mönnich, the daughter of Leo Count Larisch-Mönnich and the Transylvanian Princess Helene Stirbey. After the death of Count Heinrich in 1918 the estate passed to JUDr. Johann Larisch-Mönnich, the last owner of the estate. He strove to ensure the cultural and economic growth of the property he inherited. Count Johann was married at the age of 40 on 29 April 1912 at Chateau Pszyna to the eighteen-year-old Olivia Countess Fitz-Patrick von UpperOssory, an Imperial and Royal lady-in-waiting, who originally came from California. After the foundation of Czechoslovakia in October 1918, when the new laws of the President T.G.Masaryk were passed, there was a radical change in the social status of nobility, their ancient titles were abolished.

JUDr.Johann Larisch-Mönnich however lost none of his old prestige notwithstanding. The impact of the post-war changes on the property of theHouse of Larisch-Mönnich was more significant. After the second land reform, the amount of agricultural soil and woods in the family possession dropped. However, the strategically important and prosperous plants capable of supporting the local population throughout the period of the Great Depression of the 1930s, remained the family´s property. After the Těšín region was given to Poland following the Munich Dictate in October 1938, JUDr. Johann Larisch-Mönnich left to Swirtzerland. The Larisch-Mönnich family then moved to the chateau of Valeč near Karlovy Vary at the end of 1944, which was their last home in the country. In 1945 the family emigrated to Austria and accepted the Austrian citizenship. At first they settled in Vienna, then moved to a hunting lodge at Palfau in Styria. The whole family property was confiscated from them in favour of the Czechoslavak State based on the Decrees of the President of the republicnumber 12 and 28/1945.
