Description

This Baroque chateau was built around 1724 near the yeoman stronghold from the 14th century. Count František Adam of Trautmannsdorf had it built by František Maxmilián Kaňka, a reputable architect of the Czech Baroque period.

The chateau has kept its current appearance since a partial reconstruction was made after a fire in 1754. It is an example of a typical aristocratic estate of the high Baroque period. St. Joseph´s Chapel, with a fresco and altar paintings by Václav Vavřinec Reiner, is one of the most attractive parts of the chateau. Also sculptures by Matyáš Bernard Braun are part of the chapel´s decoration. All rooms open to the public display historical furniture as well as collections of the Šternberk family dating from the 17th to 19th century. The chateau premises are surrounded by a large English park.
