The three-winged two-storey Classicist chateau was created by gradual reconstructions of a fortress from the 13th century. Its integral part is the church of St. John the Baptist, a Renaissance wooden bell tower from the 16th century, and the remains of the former brewery no. 41. The original fortress, mentioned in 1490 and guarding an important ford across the Elbe, was the property of the Lobkovices. At the beginning of the 17th century. Václav Pětipeský started the reconstruction into a Renaissance chateau, which, however, was never completed due to the confiscation of his property. In 1655, the castle is listed as a ruin. The chateau was repaired and completed in the Baroque style only after 1666 by Ferdinand Vilém Slavata of Chlum. In the years 1824-26, General Franz Koller had the chateau expanded to its current three-winged appearance. Then it was acquired by the landowner Jiří Havelka, who leased it in 1938 for the needs of the newly established burgher school. The apprenticeship was here together with the post office and municipal flats even after the second nationalization of the chateau in the middle of the 20th century. In 1999, the chateau was returned to the Havelkov family in restitution and is now inaccessible to the public.

The chateau buildings, which were created by the gradual reconstruction of the market, are inaccessible, however, the surroundings of the chateau are very interesting. The neo-Gothic church, a Renaissance wooden bell tower, directly in front of the chateau buildings, in front of which is an interesting memorial to the victims of the First World War. A little further on the square is a beautiful Marian column and a statue of St. Jan Nepomucký.

The large Empire chateau, built around 1825, dominates several older buildings and now has a partially maintained landscape park with elements of forests adjoining protected areas in the Elbe. The building is related to the introduction of passenger shipping on the Elbe. The entire extensive monument collection is looking for meaningful use.
