She died in 1540 and according to Voršila´s will, she produced three large and two small silver goblets, pieces of silver, silver belt buckles and other ostentatious silver goods for the parish St. Vitus Church. After the Flackrab family, the ownership of the building was in the hands of Stanislav - Štancl Plankl. After he died, the building was acquired in 1569 by Filip Svérazský.
