It was a very progressive building for its time, which was only minimally changed over the centuries. The residence, modelled on the north Italian castle, was in the possession of Polyxena of Lobkowicz; an extensive rebuilding took place under the administration of her son. At the end of the 19th century, Vilemína of Lobkowicz used it to create a boarding house for unmarried and widowed noblewomen. Today, the château is again owned by the Lobkowicz family and features an exhibition of artworks from their extensive collection as well as an exhibition illustrating the lifestyle of a noble family in the 19th century.
