The original medieval fortress was converted into a Renaissance castle from 1580 by the builder Ulrico Aostalli for Bohuslav Mazanec von Frymburk . After the completion of the chateau, Mazanec moved from the remote and uncomfortable Rabštejnek Castle to the new chateau. In the middle of the 18th century the castle was restored under Johann Adam von Auersperg . At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle was rebuilt in the classicism style. At the end of the 19th century there was a change in the neo-Gothic style .
In the castle there is an exhibition with art and everyday objects from horse breeding. You can see pictures, sculptures, porcelain, etc. with horse motifs. These include pictures by Josef Mánes , J. Hamilton, Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez as well as sculptures by Adriaen de Vries and Josef Václav Myslbek .
