In 1475, the estate was bought by the Pernštejn family and merged with their estates of Přerov, Hranice and Drahotuše. Between 1547 and 1621, the estate with Ústí changed hands several times. After 1621, the estate was acquired by the Dietrichstein family and they owned Ústí until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848.[2]
