The area around Diana Castle belonged in the 18th century to the Velkódvorec estate of the Kolovrat family. The first documented mention of the castle dates from 1742. The castle was built as a hunting lodge and therefore also named after Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt. It bordered a game reserve and an English park. Until 1948, the castle remained in family ownership, then it was nationalized. In 1960, the Tachov district established a retirement home here. After the Velvet Revolution, in 1991, the pre-war owner Jindřich Kolowrat-Krakowský, then already 94 years old and living in exile in the United States, visited Diana Castle. After 1992, he succeeded in bringing the dilapidated castle back into family ownership through restitution. Later, the partner of his son, Dominika Kolowrat-Krakowská, began a gradual restoration. The heart of the castle is a four-story building with a cruciform floor plan.
