The castle changed owners many times after its founding in the 13th century. Important among these from a historical as well as a literary perspective was the Count Harbuval de Chamaré, who searched unsuccessfully for treasure at the castle for twenty years. However, the writer Alois Jirásek used this fact as inspiration for a novel. The castle was already in poor condition sometime in the middle of the 18th century, and in the second half of the 20th century it was reconstructed and opened to the public. The fourth entrance gate houses an exhibition documenting the history of the castle.
