The political turmoil of the 20th century transformed the chateau chambers into a school and a boarding house. 2014 marked the beginning of a new era when the current owners started to gradually restore the chateau’s lost magic. Today, it is a popular place for relaxation and fun and features four guided tours: Historic European Glass; Historic Weapons, Paintings and Sculptures; the Kingdom of Dolls; and The Fairy-Tale Tour on the Sázava River,where children learn about local legends in an interactive way.

The chateau also offers refreshments in a café and accommodation in suites with beautiful views of the chateau park. The landscaped English park, covering an area of 18 hectares and including ponds, is the ideal place for walking.
