The original Gothic castle was rebuilt in the Baroque style by Jean-Louis Raduit de Souches in the first half of the 17th century. Today it is owned and administered by Moravské zemské muzeum in Brno and contains several expositions. The castle Nový zámek ('new castle') was built by Jean-Louis Raduit de Souches in the early 1680s as a wooden Baroque hunting castle, and replaced in 1879 by the current structure. Today it houses a retirement house. It includes a large park with 22 Baroque sculptures, which is open to the public.
