Cesky Rudolec chateau is called Mala Hluboka. It is situated by the road No. 409 in the southeastern corner of Cesky Rudolec village near Dacice in Ceska Kanada nature park. This area was settled for the purposes of iron, silver, and precious metal mining. This perhaps explains the name of the village – Rudolec.
The first written evidence on the existence of the chateau originates in 1351. The chateau was a stronghold. Its one side borders with water, the other side was defended by a water moat. The Vladykove of Rudolce were the first known owners of the stronghold. The owners would change frequently in the following centuries.
The residence had been abandoning its defense capabilities during the Renaissance era. The moat was filled with dirt. The stronghold transformed to a chateau. The latter saw the addition of arcades. The courtyard had been gradually enclosed. The fortification walls were demolished. Surrounding buildings seem as if they were separated from the original (almost united) compound of the original stronghold. The homestead expanded. A distillery was set up. A brewery was established in 1539.
The Trautenstein-Falkenstein family is credited with the 19th-century Baroque-style reconstruction of the chateau and the surrounding buildings. The family also made great effort to improve the local landscape. The Polish-Lithuanian house of Razumovsky were significant owners of the chateau. They founded iron works in Dolni Bolikov, which was one of the largest operations of its kind in Austria. Machael Angelo von Picchioni, an Austrian sapper Major, became the owner of the chateau in 1857. Upon the fire of 1860, he rebuilt the chateau in the revived Gothic style. His grandchildren (Ernst and Catherine) were chateau's owner until the end of the WWII. During the war, the chateau operated as sort of a "sanatorium" for German officers on leave.
