The first documentation available regarding the Dobrenice manor dates back to 1339 and it was the knight Zdenek Bohunek from Dobrenice, who ordered its first construction. Since that period until 1862 the chateau and the courtyard belonged to the Czech dynasty Dobrzensky from Dobrenice. Subsequently, in 1862, the property was sold to Baron Karl Daniel Weinrich, who rebuilt the chateau into a new pseudo-classic one-storey building after a fire had partially destroyed it. In 1875 a beautiful 25 hectares English Park was designed by famous architect Edward Petzold.
In 1928 the entire estate was purchased by the director of Škoda company in Plzen, Karel Loevenstein, who immediately initiated an extensive renovation of the chateau.
In 1945 the whole property was returned to the Loevenstein family, but their ownership didn´t last long and in 1948 the property was under the ruling of the communist regime nationalized and turned into a state farm for over 40 years.
The chateau has been totally renovated and is now available for rent as a hotel-restaurant, spacious conference and meeting rooms. The entire estate consists of a large courtyard with horse stables, indoor riding arena, a beautiful baroque St. Kliment church, the most significant baroque monument in Dobrenice.
