The spacious castle area resulted from the reconstruction of the old gothic castle in 1643 — 1730. Four fronts of the castle enclose the broad courtyard. A fairly small theater, riding school, and stable belonged to the castle itself. The surroundings are arranged in terraces with the plentiful figural decoration. The garden behind the castle was founded in 1727 and further developed under Joseph Wenceslas Lichtenstein in the first half of the 18th century. The regular part was connected via the alleys with the English park where also the groves with the fruit trees, two summerhouses, an artificial cave, and an open outlook pergolas were present.
