The early Gothic castle recorded in 1234 is in the place of a fortified settlement from the first millennium B. C. During the Thirty Years War it served as a fortress, it was conquered only in 1622. It was abandoned from the middle of the 17th cent, it was restored in the second half of the 19th cent The palace with unique arcade gallery is scarce. The castle is dominated by the steeple tower Hláska (Watch-tower) and by the entrance tower. The interiors house an exhibition of history of the castle and the Czech republic.
