On a drawing from 1622, the then chateau is very similar to the present. Then in the course of the whole 16th century, the chateau belonged to the House of Mitrovic. Uneasy era of the Swedish war took its price even here. The chateau burned down and pillaged. Then Servac Engel of Engelsfluss moved here from Prague. Originally he was from Flanders and when he got there, he reconstructed the chateau. Not much has changed since.

The chateau had changed its owners several times. The last large renovations were done during the era of free lord Kast of Ebelsberg. It was between the years 1910 and 1911. Unfortunately, old interiors and furniture of earlier periods were not preserved. So this is why we move only a little bit in time while exploring the history of chateau. But its nothing, because even the interwar period had some magic in it. People had this feeling that everything bad is gone. They enjoyed life. Maybe, if they knew another war was coming, they would live differently. After the second world war the chateau was in bad shape. A year later, it was confiscated under the ministry of interior. It used it as a sensitive document archive.
