In 1366, the house of Rosenbergs became the owner of the Trebon dominion. In 1602, Petr Vok of Rosenberg chose Trebon for his residency. After his death in 1611, the castle was inherited by the Švamberks and in 1660 it passed over to the powerful Schwarzenberg house. In 1958, Trebon castle, one of the largest castle complexes in the Czech Republic, was declared a national cultural monument.

The State Castle Trebon, a national cultural monument, is one of the largest castle complexes in the Czech Republic. The present appearance of the chateau is the work of Italian architects Antonio Ericer, Jan Vlach and Domenico Cometta, who were commissioned by Vilém and Petr Vok of Rosenberg to completely rebuild the castle into a chateau in the Italian Renaissance style. Under the last Rosenbergs, Trebon became a centre of Renaissance culture and learning. It was visited by many famous personalities, especially after 1602, when Petr Vok of Rosenberg moved their family seat here.

At present the castle offers its visitors three guided tours – Rosenberg Renaissance interiors, Private Schwarzenberg suites and the third castle tour takes you in the summer months into the underground fortification system, casemates and bastions, into the horse stable and dog kitchen.
