Originally a Gothic castle from 1367, it was rebuilt after 1872 by the industrialist Čeněk Daněk, co-founder of the engineering empire from which ČKD later emerged. The guided tour leads through the staterooms of the north and west wings — the Ceremonial Dining Room, the Rococo Salon, Čeněk Daněk's study and the Knights' Hall — with preserved Romantic stucco decoration, wooden panelling and coffered ceilings. After nationalisation in 1945, the Czech Red Cross school was based here until 2000; since 2015 the chateau has been in private hands again and is being gradually restored. It opened to the public only in the 2026 season, having been inaccessible until then.

Jsem učitelka na prvním stupni ZŠ. Práce je pro mě zároveň i koníčkem. Snažím se, aby moje hodiny byly nejen přínosné, ale i zábavné a podnětné.
Ve volném čase tvořím materiály a digitální produkty nejen pro učitele a rodiče. Tvorba materiálů je náročná - zabere spoustu času a samotné nástroje, které k tomu využívám, něco stojí. Část toho, co tvořím, poskytuji zdarma. Pokud se vám moje práce líbí a chcete ji podpořit, můžete jakoukoliv částkou níže. Budu moc ráda.
