It is an example of chateau architecture from several stylistic periods; its core dates from the 16th century. A portal with a coat of arms dated 1498 has been preserved on the chateau.

It was built in the 1870s from unrendered exposed brickwork, characteristic of the Historicist architecture of the Hlučínsko region.
