Dobrohoř began as a farmstead (poplužní dvůr) bought by the Herberstein family and later inherited by the Sternbachs, who planned to rebuild it as a Neoclassical château. After 1945 it was managed by state farms, and in 2013 new owners bought the neglected building and began its gradual reconstruction.
The château's name appears in German as Ebergersch and was formerly rendered in Czech as Ebrgař. After decades of neglect it is now run as a gallery open in the tourist season, with a café and overnight accommodation on site.
