Hrubá Skála chateau was built on the site of a castle first mentioned in 1353 when it was owned by Hynek of Wallenstein and was considered impregnable. It was the seat of the lordship of the same name with changing owners, including the Lords of Hasenburg, von Pernstein and, at the beginning of the 16th century, the Lords of Boskowitz. In 1515 it came to the Smiřický family of Smiřice, who had the castle rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau in the second half of the 16th century. In 1630 the Hrubá Skála manor and manor fell to the von Wallenstein family. Franz Adam von Waldstein sold both in 1821 to Johann Anton Lexa von Aehrenthal, whose grandson Alois Lexa von Aehrenthal was born at Groß-Skal Castle. During his rule, the castle was rebuilt in 1859 by Bernhard Grueber in the neo-Gothic style. It remained in the possession of Lexa-Aehrenthal until it was expropriated after the end of World War II in 1945. It was then used as a convalescent home.

The romantic castle was built on sandstone rocks on the site of the medieval castle of 14. century. It is one of the dominants of the Czech Paradise. The castle tower offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Castle Hrubá Skála, the original name Castle Skála was built in 14. century on massive sandstone rocks. The name "Coarse Rock" (Hruba Skala) was created to distinguish it from a "small rock". Lock with the environment gained Albrecht Wallenstein from the last members of a dying race Smiřických , who affiliated to his duchy. After many fires, the originally Gothic castle was rebuilt into a renaissance castle. The castle was in the ' 60s. 20 years. it was converted into a trade union dormitory and became a forgotten cultural monument for nearly 50 years, thus dampening its original charm. 🤗🤗
