The château was owned by the Lords of Hradec, and was remodeled from 1550 by Zacharíáš z Hradce, who was also responsible for much of the château at nearby Jindřichův Hradec. Zachariáš was an admirer of all things Italian, which is clearly in evidence in the Renaissance architecture. It can be seen to best effect on Tour A, whose highlights include the Golden Hall, a long room with a magnificent coffered ceiling; the Knights Hall and the Dining Hall, featuring a beautiful doorway and depictions of the Seven Deadly Sins. Visitors can also see the Treasury, with walls covered in illusionist painting, and the Gothic Ceremonial Hall, with a painted vaulted ceiling. Not included in either of the tours is the lavish chapel housing the tombs of Zachariáš and his wife Kateřina of Waldstein, notable for its stucco work buzzing with details and ceiling reliefs.
