Horovice is a city with a very mysterious past that would be of interest not only to historians and ethnographers, but also its inhabitants. Unfortunately, about the time of the founding of the city and its early history is not known. All city archives, where was the mention of this, burnt in the fire in 1540. Therefore, Horovice is now a city without a past, but with an excellent present and a very promising future.

Some experts claim that the founding date of the city can be considered the beginning of the fourteenth century. Whatever it was, but after some time in the city was built the so-called Old castle, which for some time belonged to the family of Lytvyn. This family lost their property through negligence: one representative Litvinov participated in the procedure defenestration, which was considered traditional in medieval Prague, and no surprise. He, along with friends thrown out of the window of Prague castle is a respected person, Advisor of king Yaroslav Borgata. The officer survived, but the participants were punished, depriving their States. So Horovice castle became the property of the victim Borgata.

The castle has undergone various kinds of disasters, including fires, were other people who had it rebuilt and adapted for their needs. Its modern look it has gained during the reconstruction of the eighteenth century.

In the XX century it was garrisoned by Soviet troops, and then the Palace belonged to different departments, which, of course, he paid no attention to his condition. We would have lost such a Grand structure, if not the Czech government, which recalled the historic monument and ordered to spend here a big repair. Now here are available for inspection refurbished and reconstructed interiors.
