Until 1989 the château was the property of The National Forests and was used for administrative and catering purposes. After 1990 it was returned to the original owners. In 1998 its new owners arranged for the window exchange on the yard side of the chateau and of the external facade.This, however, was made in phases and finished only in 2001 with the reconstruction of the Northern part of the building.

The chateau underwent extensive reconstruction in the middle of the 18th century. The old chateau was torn down and a modern chateau was built in its place in the French style of King Louis XVI. The construction was led by Brno’s architect František Antonín Grimm. The walls and copulas of the rooms are ornamented with illusive paintings from 1757, imitating rococo stucco.
