It was built as a Gothic fortress copying the design of French castels. First building alterations were ordered by George of Šternberk at the end of the 15th century, and later by Hodějovští of Hodějov in the 17th century. In the 18th century, Vrtbové of Vrtba converted the castle into a Baroque palace. Francis Ferdinand d’Este, who bought it in 1887, had it rebuilt into a grand emperor’s residence. In 1990 he married Sophia of Hohenberg and had three children by her. He was very well educated and even travelled around the world. On 28 June 1914 he and his wife were assassinated by a shooting anarchist in Sarajevo. The château interiors present collections of F. F. ďEste. The Baroque garden includes the so-called Rose Garden with greenhouses. The château, now belonging to the state, offers three varied tour routes, a shooting gallery, and St George Museum. The château also offers other services even for the most demanding visitors. UMÍSTĚNÍ
