History of castle itself dates back to the 13th century. The original gothic stronghold with moat was reconstructed at the turn of the 16th and 17th century to the castle in the renaissance style which after adaptations in the 18th century gained its present form. Near the castle, there is The Zdenka Braunerová Studio with a permanent exhibition reminiscent of the atmosphere of the time and place in which the artist created.
