History of the Park

The castle park with an area of 42 ha belongs to the most charming places in the region. It is accessible to the public year-round; people visited this park already in the times of Ferdinand Hildprandt.

František (Franz) Hildprandt had the original game preserve modified in the front part in the style of an English park at the beginning of the 19th century. The rear part of the park was preserved in its original form with "sejpy" (remains of ancient gold panning sites), overgrown with aged trees.

The entire park is interwoven with streams, bridges, and paths with beautiful alleys. In 1810, simultaneously with the construction of a new road, Baron František had an artificially created hill with rocks built in the southwestern part of the park, and in it, caves connected by stone corridors were created. During the Napoleonic Wars, this park modification provided work and earnings to the then inhabitants of the estate.

There used to be also an orangery, a theater, a Swiss house, a gamekeeper's lodge, and a shooting range in the park, but these buildings are now a thing of the past. Today, only the Empire house, where the Hildprandt family lives, remains in the park.

A popular attraction of the castle park is a large herd of fallow deer, which graze here freely, as well as a flock of peacocks. The park is adorned by many aged oaks.
