In the years 1662–1667, Kaspar Kaplíř had a new three-wing castle built according to a design by Antonio della Porta . The baroque garden pavilion was built in 1707. At the end of the Second World War, the lord of the castle, Count Eugen Ledebur, was arrested by Czechs and murdered in Theresienstadt. The population of the then market town of Milleschau was forcibly expelled as part of the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia .
