In 1534, the Gothic castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. It burned down in 1872 but was rebuilt.[1][better source needed] In 2004, it was repaired after many years of dilapidation, caused by coal mining under the castle.[citation needed]
Until 2012, the castle hosted the Colours of Ostrava festival.
