The original castle was built here on the site of an earlier castle in 1370. Was the seat of a knightly family Glaubitzów and was destroyed during the Hussite wars. In the years 1580-1590 the family Tschirnhaus erected on the site of the castle Renaissance mansion, perhaps by using fragments of medieval, and certainly joining a partly preserved tower of the original castle. For two wings were built in the years 1614-1622 the next two - the south and east. In the seventeenth century, damaged twice - first during the Thirty Years' War, and later as a result of fire in the town.

In the years 1686-1695 the mansion was enlarged by a new part of the Baroque Italian architect Jacobo Carova. Building was enlarged with new two wings and closing the newly created courtyard wall. In the nineteenth century, the building was restored, in 1945 has been slightly damaged. In 1974, the mansion again touched the fire.

The whole assumption is made up of two parts: the older - Renaissance, a polygonal tower, grouped around a small courtyard, and later Baroque - double-leaf, with interiors covered with barrel vaults and decorated with stucco decoration. With the Renaissance came the gate of artistically made ​​portal and fragments of sgraffito decoration on the external elevations.
