 The castle was sacked by the Hussites in 1421 and, after renovation later in the 15th century, the façade was painted red – hence the name Červený Hrádek (or Red Castle).In 1687 and 1688, the baroque sculptor Jan Brokoff carved statues, fountains and other works at the castle.His son Ferdinand Maxmilian Brokoff, also a sculptor, was born there.
