Třeboň - the estate where learned men spoke with angels

The Midnight Archive once more - and I had to copypaste the name of the town/estate and the lord who lives there/patron of the scholars... Czech has so many diacritics!

... they are saved by a Bohemian lord (Vilém de Rožmberk), one of the richest men in the kingdom, a collector of alchemists with lands in the south. He extracts permission for them to shelter on his estates. And the whole caravan ... rolls into the water town of Třeboň among the carp ponds behind the walls of a friendly castle. 
Count what has rolled in through that castle gate. An English household 4 years from home. 
In the spring of 1587 at Třeboň, gazing into the stone, he finds it. (The child spirit) comes back to the glass at Třeboň. 
Two families, one castle, and a silence where the angels used to be. The 48:2748 minutos y 27 segundospartnership is dead. What is left in the water town of Třeboň through 1588 is the wreckage. Two households orbiting each other, a friendship curdled into accounts and grievances, and a stone on its table with nobody kneeling in front of it. 
... children born in castles they will never see again,... 
from six years of conversation with spirits in Habsburg lands.
Half a century goes by ... the command at Třeboň that handed the scrier everything he wanted, ...
 ... through the covenant at Třeboň that nobody asked her to approve. 
 In Cotton's keeping, the angel diaries of the later years, Poland, Prague, Třeboň, sit out the decades in quiet. 
the anguish at Třeboň in John Dee's own hand, 
... the command at Třeboň that handed the scrier everything he wanted,
