The chateau was commissioned by Nicholas the Elder of Bubna. It originally served as a summer residence and was later used as a hunting lodge. What's interesting is that the Bubna family still owns the chateau (except for 1948-1993). The small but charming chateau is the work of Italian Renaissance artists. Unique sgraffito, covering all exterior and interior facades is highly valued by experts and the general public. Accept an invitation to tour to unique interiors and do not miss a walk through the chateau park adjacent to the orchard and farmyeard with domestic animals.

Did you know that the chateau is unique because the members of the Bubnů family not only built it but it also remained in their ownership (with the exception of totalitarian times) over all of the centuries until the present?
