The Medieval stronghold was rebuilt by architect U. Aostalli to a Renaissance manor in 1580-1590. It was repaired after 1669 and then again before 1755 by Jan A. Auersperg. During 1800 - 1822 the manor underwent an extensive reconstruction in the Classicist style. The Auerspergs modernized the manor soon afterwards, this time in Neo-Gothic style. The interiors of the manor are furnished by various objects that have a common motive - horses. The exhibition consists not only of artistic and common objects connected with breeding of horses but also paintings, statues, china and faience with the same motive. Paintings by J. Mánes, J.Hamilton, D. Velázques and sculptures by Andrian de Vries and J. V. Myslbek prove that the most famous contemporary artists also loved horses.
