The Empire chateau was built in the years of the pheasant house by Prince John I of Liechtenstein in 1802-1806. The construction was commissioned by its chief architect Josef Hardtmuth. It burned down in 1894, but was rebuilt with a painting. After the nationalization after 1945, the state did not care about the chateau and it fell into disrepair. He later came to the administration of the Academy of Sciences, which used it as his workplace. However, the chateau suffered from unprofessional interventions. The dilapidated hunting lodge was in a state of disrepair for a long time and was not open to the public. The building has been under reconstruction since 2018. The costs of the reconstruction, the completion of which was planned for the end of 2020, were to amount to 12 million crowns. After the completion of the reconstruction, the hunting lodge is to be opened to the public for the first time in history in April 2021. [2]

The summer house consists of an octagonal central part with side wings. The main octagonal hall of the Belvedere was provided by the Viennese painter Johann Joseph Langenhöffel with an illusory painting in the so-called "Pompeian style". [3] In the center of the drawing room sat a Chinese man and his companions in carved seats, with black, mother-of-pearl chairs set up by the walls, lanterns with a chandelier decorated with Chinese dragon paintings, and silk paintings by Josef Langenhöffel. In some places, everything was complemented by porcelain collections, and in 1928 it was intended to supplement the decoration with silk wallpaper from the defunct Chinese pavilion.
