The Rosenbergs regained the domains in the early 15th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, the domains were incorporated into the domains of Bystřice (Nová Bystřice, Neubistritz). The ownership of the domains changed several times during the following centuries. After the end of patrimonialism, Chlumetz became an independent municipality in 1848. In 1861 the castle and its domains was acquired by Francesco V of Austria-Este, the last duke of Modena. After his death, the domains as well as the name 'Este' were inherited by Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria(-Este) who became Heir Presumptive of the Autrian throne in 1896. After the collaps of the Austrian Empire after World War I, the castle and the domains were nationalised by the Czechoslovak government. Today, Chlum u Třeboně is known as a resort place with several campsites. In 2006 the municipality obtained the status of a městys (market town).

The church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary [left, no. 3886] was built in Baroque style in 1737–1745 as a votive church by the then owner of the domains. In 1804, the church was extended to the west by a longitudinal nave. Pilgrimages to the church are still held on the 15th of August (Assumption of the Virgin Mary) or the following Sunday.
