Since 1661 the estates were owned by the counts of Thun-Hohenstein.
The 
chateau
In 1825 Counts Josef Matthias Thun-Hohenstein established the tradition of raising white deer in a 250 hectare English landscape park. The animals, which are a world rarity, are one of very few herds in the whole world. In 1949 only 30 animals were left out of once about 200. Today the size of the herd has grown to about 130 again. In addition, a new, black, mutation of deers is also bred here.
