The building was built by Prince John I. Joseph of Liechtenstein in the spirit of the Enlightenment as a model farm. The building was originally used to breed twenty Bernese cows, then rare merino sheep. The monumental four-winged complex surrounding the large courtyard was designed by the princely architect Josef Hardmuth. In 1819, the architect J. F. Engel added a circular salet (so-called rotunda) with "Swiss stables" [1], in which there was a stall for horses surrounding a circular room decorated with illusive geometric and plant decor, broken into the stables and out through large French windows. The princely guests could refresh themselves here and look through the glass partition into the neighboring barn. [2]

The New Court building experienced hard years during the time of totalitarianism. The building was used for animal production and the historical significance of the monument was not taken into account. As time began to think about renovating the buildings, three ideas emerged on how to deal with the building. The proposal to establish an English thoroughbred breed with a racing stable came out victorious. The local horses did not do badly at all, two even started at Velká Pardubická.

At present, Nový Dvůr is privately owned and serves as a stable for breeding riding horses and is also used for recreational purposes. [3]
