History

The first written mention of Budyně nad Ohří is from 1173. Originally there was a wooden castle, but it was rebuilt to a Gothic stone castle by King Ottokar I at the beginning of the 13th century. King John of Bohemia sold Budyně to the noble family of Zajíc of Hazmburk, who owned it until 1613. During their rule, the castle and the whole estate prospered and developed.
