The founder, and maybe the builder too, was probably Domaslav (Domaslaus de Squorz) around 1279, an important courtier and landed official, the butler of Queen Kunigunda of Slavonia(1262) and her food taster (1263–1269, 1279), Lord High Treasurer (1267–1278) and one of the ten Burgraves of Prague Castle. From the castle he built, only the deep well is now preserved, cut in the granite rock, which was situated near to the early gothic palace - that standing on the site of the present school building.
The coat-of-arms of Domaslav of Škvorec (three vertical stripes), which cannot be found later in Central Bohemia, proving that the castle must have passed to another noble family not long after. The names of the owners until after 1450 are not now known.
In the second half of 14th century, the castle was owned by the Olbramovic family of Prague. One of them, Olbram son of Menhart (died around 1388), installed the priest of the church in Horky, which already belonged to Škvorec by 1354. Olbram son of Menhart was from 1356 the Reeve of Prague New Town and in 1373–80 the Burgrave of Vyšehrad. In connection with Škvorec he is mentioned only two times: first as Olbram of Škvorec (in Skworzecz) in the records of visitation of the Prague archdeacon Pavel of Janovice from 1380, and as Olbram son of Menhart of Škvorec a document from 1385 (de Skworecz).
After his death, his three sons Olbram, Pavel and Václav became the owners of Škvorec. The most important of them was Olbram: in 1377 he started to study at the Faculty of Law of Prague University. In 1379 he became the canon of Prague and Vyšehrad. Between 1389-1396 he was the provost of St.Apolinar in Prague New Town, and also the chancellor of the king’s brother Jan of Zhořelec. On 31 January 1396, he became the Archbishop of Prague (he was installed by Pope Boniface IX.). His brother Pavel was a Burgrave in Týn nad Vltavou (1397), and Václav earned 500 marks of silver in the king’s service in 1396. These successes of the three brothers had an influence on their building activity at Škvorec, because its Early Gothic castle did not conform to the needs of noblemen at the end of 14th century.
According to the archeological, historical and building research made by architect J. Žižka, it appears that round 1400 the family of Olbramovic essentially enlarged the area of the castle and added to the buildings. Opposite the old early-gothic palace they built an oblong tower with a pointed-arched gate and with a small wicket, together with drawbridges across the newly dug water-filled moat. Above it, east of the entrance tower, they built another gothic palace with a chapel, whose chaplain called Václav is noted in judgment roll of the Archbishopric of Prague in 1404. Due to the building of the new palace, Škvorec thus had two palaces, as was faithfully recorded in the fideicommissum documents in 1654.
The archbishop with his two brothers owned Škvorec castle until 2 May 1402, when he died. His two surviving brothers then divided the property amongst themselves. Next, Jan Nichilen of Prague bought the Václav’s share (the rent from Škvorec Castle, half of the farmyard and some villages) in 1411, and before 1418 the owner of it was Jan of Klučov. The second half of property was still owned by Pavel of Škvorec until his death (after 1418).
His widow Eliška (Elisabeth) married before 1422 Jan Ohnništko of Ohnišťany, who appropriated the second half of the property too. But in 1426 he violated the parliamentary peace, when he killed his ex-neighbor Prokop Trčka of Květnice in a duel in Prague. As a result, he was brought to court and then executed. Eliška became a widow again and very soon she had big debts. Because of them, she had to sell the rent from Škvorec, Hostyň and the half of the market-town of Úvaly to Prokop Bervík of Malešice in the same year. But he sold it only a short time after to Vilém of Kounic, from whom it was bought by Petřík Olbrámovic (shortly called Olbrámek), and thanks to this the whole property was again owned by the family of Olbramovic of Prague.
The next important owner of Škvorec castle was Čeněk of Klinštejn, the Crown Prosecutor, who bought it from the Olbramovic family in 1462. He was a very significant person in the Bohemia of that time. He was not only the Crown Prosecutor, but also a Burgrave of Prague Castle (1451–1461) and of Vyšehrad (1467–1479) and in the years 1457–81 he was the Queen's Prosecutor. In the time of his son Jan, in 1497, King Vladislas II of Hungary made Škvorec into a market-town. After his death round 1509, his brother Zdeněk inherited the castle. He had many lawsuits with his neighbours, townsmen and also with his nearest relatives, as did his son Jindřich, who died in the battles against the Turks in Hungary. After that, the Castle passed to brother of Jindřich's mother—Zikmund Smiřický of Smiřice. In about 1545 he started reconstructing the old castle and modernised it into a renaissance seat. During this reconstruction he probably built the western range with arcades and the building on the eastern side of the courtyard.

Karl I Liechtenstein
During the inheritance procedure after his death, his sons divided the large family property so that Jaroslav became the owner of Škvorec, Albrecht received Náchod and Miletín and Jindřich got Hrubá Skála and Hořice. But not much earlier than 1560, Albrecht is also mentioned as the owner of Škvorec. His son Václav Jaroslav spent a long time in Škvorec, where he died in 1593. His son, Albrecht Václav, died in 1614 and the Castle was inherited by his uncle, Albrecht Jan.
As the fideicommissum records from 1618 tell, Albrecht Jan Smiřický of Smiřice had a vaulted hall known as "the stone hall", lord’s apartment and also an armoury built in the castle. In other parts of the castle there were offices and rooms of the members of his estate government and on the ground floor there was some economic establishment.
During the confiscation of his property in 1621, Škvorec Castle fell into the hands of Albrecht of Valdštejn because his mother was from the Smiřický family. He sold it to Karl of Lichtenstein in 1623.

In the second half of the 17th century Jan Adam of Lichtenstein ordered his officials Šimon Karel Svoboda and Jan Kašpar Ouvalský to elaborate the urbary of his domain. So in 1677 The Golden Book (Zlatá kniha,), which was written in Czech, was finished.
The preserved records of the 'hejtman' of Černý Kostelec, Captain Přech Svatkovský of Dobrohošť, shows that the Swedes plundered the castle and set it on fire on 27 November 1639. During the fire the ceilings in some rooms in both palaces collapsed (in one of them – in the upper palace – was the jail for the retainers in that time). The repair works appear to have been minimal: until 1654 only the upper palace was covered by a temporary thatched roof and no more reconstruction then continued. So for the rest of 17th century the Castle was known as a ruin.
From the records of the Uhříněves Estate (to which Škvorec belonged at that time) it is known that the first part of the Castle was repaired by Kristian Minedi in 1710, when he submitted accounts for repairing six rooms to the Estate government. This northern part of the castle became the seat of Princess Maria Theresa of Savoy, born of Lichtenstein (died 1772) after 1729.
Later modern history
Škvorec Castle was still habitable in 1794, but in the years that followed it started to decay again. Instead of reconstruction, the Castle was largely dismantled in 1860–84.
The dilapidated northwestern range of the old castle was demolished first, then the western two-storied wing was taken down in 1883.On the site of the ruin of the old gothic palace, the local school was built in 1890. Of the whole castle only the rebuilt baroque southeastern part with the gatehouse tower was left, and also the old Castle well in the courtyard. The so-called 'New Castle' stands opposite the old one. It comprises a large baroque one-storey building with a courtyard of farm buildings, the remains of an old fountain and a baroque gate. As the plans of the architect Josef Jägr from the Lichtenstein family archive in Vaduz testify, this new part of Škvorec Castle was built soon after 1791.

Bem-vindo ao Castelo de Savoia. Praga
O fundador, e talvez o construtor também, foi provavelmente Domaslav (Domaslaus de Squorz) por volta de 1279, um importante curtidor e oficial de terra, o mordomo da rainha Kunigunda da Eslavônia (1262) e seu provador de comida (1263-1269, 1279) High Tesoureiro (1267-1278) e um dos dez Burgraves do Castelo de Praga. Do castelo que ele construiu, apenas o poço profundo é agora preservado, cortado na rocha de granito, que foi situado perto do palácio gótico adiantado - aquele estando no local do edifício atual da escola.
O brasão de Domaslav de Škvorec (três listras verticais), que não pode ser encontrado mais tarde na Boémia Central, provando que o castelo deve ter passado para outra família nobre, não muito tempo depois. Os nomes dos proprietários até depois de 1450 não são sabidos agora.
Na segunda metade do século XIV, o castelo era propriedade da família Olbramovic de Praga. Um deles, Olbram filho de Menhart (morreu por volta de 1388), instalou o sacerdote da igreja em Horky, que já pertencia a Škvorec em 1354. Olbram filho de Menhart era de 1356 o Reeve da Cidade Nova de Praga e em 1373-80 o Burgrave de Vyšehrad. Em relação a Škvorec ele é mencionado apenas duas vezes: primeiro como Olbram de Škvorec (em Skworzecz) nos registros de visitação do arquidiácono de Praga Pavel de Janovice de 1380, e como Olbram filho de Menhart de Škvorec um documento de 1385 (Skworecz ).
Após sua morte, seus três filhos Olbram, Pavel e Václav se tornaram os donos de Škvorec. O mais importante deles foi Olbram: em 1377 ele começou a estudar na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Praga. Em 1379 tornou-se o cânone de Praga e Vyšehrad. Entre 1389-1396 foi o reitor de St.Apolinar em Praga Cidade Nova, e também o chanceler do irmão do rei Jan de Zhořelec. Em 31 de janeiro de 1396, tornou-se Arcebispo de Praga (ele foi instalado pelo Papa Bonifácio IX). Seu irmão Pavel era um Burgrave em Týn nad Vltavou (1397), e Václav ganhou 500 marcas de prata no serviço do rei em 1396. Estes sucessos dos três irmãos tiveram uma influência em sua atividade de edifício em Škvorec, porque seu castelo gótico adiantado Não está de acordo com as necessidades dos nobres no final do século XIV.
De acordo com a pesquisa arqueológica, histórica e de construção feita pelo arquiteto J. Žižka, parece que volta 1400 a família de Olbramovic essencialmente alargada a área do castelo e adicionado aos edifícios. Em frente ao antigo palácio gótico primitivo, eles construíram uma torre oblonga, com um portão de arco pontiagudo e com um pequeno portão, juntamente com pontes levadiças em todo o fosso recém-escavado cheio de água. Acima dela, a leste da torre de entrada, eles construíram outro palácio gótico com uma capela, cujo capelão chamado Václav é notado no rolo de julgamento do Arcebispado de Praga em 1404. Devido à construção do novo palácio, Škvorec teve assim dois palácios, Como foi fielmente registrado nos documentos fideicomissum em 1654.
O arcebispo com seus dois irmãos possuiu o castelo de Škvorec até o 2 de maio de 1402, quando morreu. Seus dois irmãos sobreviventes dividiram então a propriedade entre eles. Em seguida, Jan Nichilen de Praga comprou a parte de Václav (o aluguel do castelo de Škvorec, a metade do pátio e algumas aldeias) em 1411, e antes de 1418 o proprietário dele era janeiro de Klučov. A segunda metade da propriedade ainda era propriedade de Pavel de Škvorec até sua morte (depois de 1418).
Sua viúva Eliška (Elisabeth) casou-se antes de 1422 Jan Ohnništko de Ohnišťany, que se apropriou da segunda metade da propriedade também. Mas em 1426 ele violou a paz parlamentar, quando ele matou seu ex-vizinho Prokop Trčka de Květnice em um duelo em Praga. Como resultado, ele foi levado a tribunal e depois executado. Eliška tornou-se uma viúva novamente e muito em breve ela teve grandes dívidas. Por causa deles, ela teve que vender o aluguel de Škvorec, Hostyň ea metade da cidade-mercado de Úvaly a Prokop Bervík de Malešice no mesmo ano. Mas vendeu-o pouco tempo depois a Vilém de Kounic, de quem foi comprado por Petřík Olbrámovic (chamado logo Olbrámek), e agradecimentos a esta propriedade inteira foi outra vez possuído pela família de Olbramovic de Praga.
