- Archival history:
- In 1945 part of the estate's fonds was taken from Mikulov to Židlochovice along with the family archive of the Dietrichsteins. In 1956 these documents were transferred to the then State Archives in Brno (today the Moravian Provincial Archives in Brno), where they were merged with the second part of the estate's fonds, which had hitherto been kept in the District Archives in Mikulov along with the main registry of the Dietrichsteins. In 1965 the State Archives in Brno received other materials from the State Jewish Museum in Prague. In the years 1966, 1974 and 1978 documents from the collection of the Brno archive of patrimonial files and maps were assigned to the fonds. The inventory of the fonds was created in 1985.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Mikulov was the centre of a large manor owned by the Liechtensteins and then from 1575 by the Dietrichsteins. In 1862 the Mikulov estate passed to the family Dietrichsteins–Mensdorff–Pouilly. In 1945 the property was put under national administration and confiscated. There was a significant Jewish community in Mikulov on the territory of the manor.
