Over time, especially during the Communist regime, it was abandoned and gradually deteriorated. Reconstruction and an effort to rescue the building in all aspects has been underway since 2002.

Křimice Chateau

Château Trpísty (Schloss Trpist in German, Zámek Trpísty in Czech) is a late baroque 18th century manor house located at Trpísty in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It was built between 1723 and 1729 for Count Prosper Anton Josef von Sinzendorf on the site of a medieval castle.
Because the house archive was lost in late 18th century, the identity of the architect is not clear. Recent research favours the authorship of Jakub Auguston, an architect of Italian descent living in Pilsen (Plzeň in Czech). The extravagant layout and decoration of the house set it apart from Auguston's other works in provincial style, so Trpisty either is his best and most mature project or it has been designed by somebody else. The layout of the building is based on two pavilions (the North and South Wing) connected by two large oval rooms protruding in the middle of the East and West facades. The piano nobile on the first floor is lavishly decorated with allegorical baroque frescoes in stucco mirrors, while the main drawing room boasts a large fresco on its entire vaulted ceiling depicting an apotheosis of the Sinzendorf family and historic scenes from the Ottoman Court.
The large formal garden was landscaped in the English style in the 19th century and contains today a rich collection of rare trees, among them a 19th-century female Ginkgo tree.
The château, its park and outbuildings are among the last remaining examples of 18th century Bohemian country houses embedded in its original landscape without visible changes in the wake of industrialisation or subsequent destruction during the communist rule and belong to the most valuable historic estates in Central Europe.

Trpísty Chateau

The dominant feature of the Cebiv village square is the Baroque chateau, featuring the unusual signature layout of the prominent architect František Maxmilián Kaňka. The unsuitable way in which the chateau was used as well as its subsequent dilapidation during the last seventy years have, though, caused considerable damage to its magnificent facade and gorgeous interiors; their present decrepit appearance is a silent reminder of the faded glory of the chateau.

Přestavlky Chateau

The ruin of Gutštejn castle rises on a steep cliff above the creek Hadovka near Konstantinovy Lázně (Spa Constantine). The castle was built on phylitic greywacke and slate, which were formed at the bottom of the Proterozoic sea more than 500 million years ago. The original marine sediments were strengthened and then transformed during later orogenic processes.
The castle was founded in the early 14th century by Hroznatovci, who derived their origin from the beatific Hroznata, founder of important Premonstratensian monasteries in Teplá and Chotěšov. The first written record of the castle dates from 1319. The castle belonged to the Gutštejns until the mid-16th century. During the Hussite wars the owners of the castle stood on the Catholic side and served the king Zikmund (Sigismund). The castle lost its impregnability in 1422, when it was besieged by Hussite troops under the command of Jan Žižka. The Gutštejns family , faithful to the king Zikmund, had received a number of villages and monasteries in Chotěšov, Pivoň, Plasy and elsewhere . After the Hussite wars they belonged to the most powerful families in western Bohemia. Burian of Gutšetjn owned Bělá, Rabštejn, Nečtiny; Tachov, Komberk and for a short time also Stříbro. He was the regional governor to Žatec and Plzeň and managed the Chotěšov monastery. At the turn of the 15th century during wars between the Gutštejns and King Vladislav Jagelonský the castle became prison for the rich prisoners. The seat of the Gutštejns was moved to Bezdružice in the 16th century. Gutštejn family members had held important posts at that time. They died off in 1747.
The castle consisted of two main parts, the forecastle and the inside castle, separated by a deep moat. The forecastle, which had economic function, is practically lost. The only remain of the forcastle is a small cellar carved into the rock. The original castle had no tower and so the defense was provided by massive perimeter wall. The core of the castle consists of three parts: the trapezoidal first courtyard, the second courtyard with the remains of the palace and the main towers with the defense wall towards Hadovka. The castle dominant is the main square tower with rounded corners and high-lying entrance. According to the results of archaeological research the tower was completed at a later date, probably at the turn of the 14th century.
