This beautiful Renaissance chateau was built in 1560 - 69 in the place of a Gothic castle. Baroque adaptations were carried out in 1716, they did not, however, hide the Renaissance character of the chateau. A beautiful arcade courtyard leads to the park. The interiors house collections of weapons (one of the largest in the Czech republic), a picture gallery and a library. There is a caste garden with a summer house and an English park.
