The castle foundations date back to 1120, when it was one of the largest Benedictine monasteries in Central Europe. The original founder of this monastery was an abbot called "William" and it is from his name that the later castle and the village take its name of "Vilémov". The monks who lived in this monastery are known to have eaten their staple food source of fish and frogs.
