On the site of today’s east chateau wing the owner of the domain, Zdeněk Žampach of Potštein, built a simple wooden fortress in 1554; in 1681 this was rebuilt by a subsequent owner into an Early Baroque chateau. The fortress was razed and only the stone wall foundations and cellars remained, upon which a two-storied chateau with tower were then built. In the 1990’s extensive reconstruction was undertaken. In addition to permanent exhibits there is also a hotel, private high school, the town library, and an elementary art school.
