A Renaissance mansion, the former seat of the prominent Martinic family. In 1460, a citadel with St.Ann‘s Chapel was built. The chapel itself gave way to its grandiose Renaissance reconstruction in 1586. In its historical park there is a baroque salla terena by K.I. Dientzenhofer, decorated by a fresco by a baroque fresco painter Jan Karel Kovar. The chateau presently serves as a social welfare facility.
