==History== Talmberk was founded at the end of the 13th century, likely by Hroznata of Úžice. The castle is first attested in 1297, in the name William of Talmberk. The castle remained in the Talmberk family until 1390, when Havel Medek of Valdek and his brother William captured the castle from Diviš of Talmberk. Diviš regained control of the castle in 1397. When Diviš died in 1415 his son Oldřich inherited Talmberk. The Lords of Talmberk lost ownership of the castle by 1473, and by 1533, it was abandoned altogether.
