On the site of the former fortress of the Berk family from Dubá, the present Adršpach chateau began to be built around 1600.. This Baroque monument has a relatively diverse past. Based on Beneš's decrees, the chateau was confiscated and later handed over to the Ministry of Education and Culture. In the 1960s, it even served as a dormitory for local textile apprentices. Unfortunately, due to the frequent change of owners and struggles for ownership, no one cared much about the condition of the monument.
