During the [[Hussite Wars]], Ctibor of Wolfstein, a supporter of Imperator Sigismund, ruled Hostouň.

During the reformation Hostau was temporarily Protestant. As a consequence of the Battle at the White Mountain the property of the Guttensteins was confiscated. The dominion was sold to Zdenko of Mitrowitz (1622), after a short period retailed to the family of Czernin and even in 1656 to the Counts of Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg, who put their dominions Bischofteinitz and Hostau together. |
|||
At the end of the 16th century, the Czech population predominated, but ethnic Germans began to arrive.
