history
Nikolaus von Bubna and Lititz, who owned the Litice lordship with one half of Senftenberg, also acquired the second half of Senftenberg, which belonged to the Žampach lordship, in 1575 , where he then built a renaissance castle, which he made the seat of the newly formed Senftenberg lordship.
After the destruction of the Thirty Years War, Franz Adam von Bubna rebuilt the castle in the baroque style . In 1691 he built the palace chapel of the Assumption of Mary. Under Verian Alfred von Windisch-Grätz , a reconstruction in the style of the Empire took place in 1810-1814 . The palace park was redesigned as an English garden. Further structural changes were made in 1866 under Georg Parish von Senftenberg. His descendants kept the castle until it was expropriated after the Second World War. After the Velvet Revolution they got the castle back by way of restitution, but in 2004 they sold it to the Pardubický kraj .
