The castle has stood on this rock for seven hundred years. What you see today carries eight distinct building phases.
First mentioned in a 1279 charter. The Baroque wing arrived in the seventeenth century. The twentieth took it through war and nationalisation. In 2008 an Italian-Czech-Russian family bought the castle and restored it over the following decade.
A charter names Škvorec as the seat of the Olbram family.
Škvorec becomes one of the oldest Jewish centres in Bohemia.
The estate gains a Baroque wing and the chapel of St. Anne.
Postwar nationalisation; the castle declines for forty years.
The Eremeev-Salvatore family acquires the property and opens a decade of work.
The castle opens for one wedding a weekend. Eight suites, a kitchen, a chapel.
Twenty-two rooms across three buildings, a hundred and fifty guests, one event at a time. The garden is in its fourth year.
