Simultaneously with the construction of the chateau buildings between 1700 and 1737, the chateau garden was created in the French style. Across the Rokytná River, on whose banks lies the park, a large section continues the English style. During its most famous period, Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou was a center of cultural life, organized here by Jan Adam Questenberk (1678–1752). At that time, Jaroměřice boasted a rich library, gallery, theater, and its own chapel. The famous Czech composer František Václav Míča, author of the first Czech opera, "The Founding of Jaroměřice," was also the chapel master.
