The château park holds a statue of Saint John Nepomuk, reflecting local religious traditions. The interior showcases craftsmanship from different periods through its varied staircases.
The château is currently closed to visitors as it undergoes major renovation work following its recent private acquisition. Check ahead for any updates regarding public access, as the property's status may change in the future.
After the socialist era, the property was returned to descendants of the Counts of Kolowrat before being sold again for restoration purposes. This return to the original noble family represented a significant moment in the château's post-1989 history.
