The castle was built in the second half of the 14th century and was first documented in 1382. Before the Thirty Years' War, Chlumec was referred to as a market town. In 1474, the estate was acquired by the Lobkowicz family. They owned Chlumec until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850. In that year, the name was changed to Vysoký Chlumec to distinguish it from other places with the same name. The castle was confiscated from the Lobkowicz family by the Nazis in World War II, then again by the state in 1948. More information...
