The Early Baroque multi-story chateau was built by Fr. Karel Kolowrat in 1676-1690 (allegedly according to the plan by a northern Italian architect) In 1722 the chateau was lengthened, widened, and raised, likely according to the design by Jan Santini Aichel. The main chateau façade is elaborated to an unusual width.
Did you know that the chateau, along with the frontispiece of the Holy Trinity Church is one of the most stunning Baroque complexes in Bohemia?
