The castle was built by Count Albert Nostic in the years 1856-1863 in the English neo-Gothic style. It was designed by the famous Viennese architect Heinrich Ferstel. In 1919 the castle was bought by the manufacturer Wolfrum from Ústí nad Labem. Later it was taken over by the town of Ústí nad Labem. Until 1964 the castle housed the town museum. Then the museum was closed due to the dilapidated condition of the building and the castle was threatened with demolition in connection with the construction of the motorway. Fortunately, this plan was abandoned. From 1997 the castle was reconstructed and today serves as a cultural center.
Even though the castle and the park are worth seeing in themselves (the location below the motorway gives the whole thing a peculiar flair), two exhibitions also attract visitors inside: the most well-known is the one on model railways, of which there are several, supplemented by other models of vehicles. Secondly, the castle also has a museum exhibition on mining in the region.
