======================================

Puvodní gotický hrad ze 13. století byl v 16. stol. prestaven na renesancní zámek. Za pánu z Ugarte prodelal barokní prestavbu. Dalšími majiteli byli Lichtenštejnové. Eleonora z Lichtenštejna byla dvorní dámou Josefa II., který za ní do Mezirící casto jezdil. Za Lobkovicu byly vedlejší budovy zámku upraveny v novogotickém stylu. Zámek zdedil rod Harrachu. V r. 1909 zde byl ubytován rakouský i nemecký císar. Poslední majitelkou od r. 1937 byla dcera F. Harracha - Josefa Podstatzká, které byl zámek vr. 1995 vrácen. V zámku dnes sídlí regionální muzeum a Muzeum silnic a dálnic.
