Originally a fortified house from the end of the 14th century, it has been rebuilt many times. Its core is the south-west corner, which contains a majestic stone building. Other buildings include a late Gothic palace from the end of the 15th century and the early Renaissance building of Victorinus of Žerotín from the beginning of the 16th century. The Renaissance stables in the first courtyard also date from this period. The main construction works were carried out under Bedřich of Žerotín and his wife Libuše of Lomnice between 1539 and 1541. After the Žerotín family left the town in 1558, the chateau permanently lost its residential function and was used for administrative and economic purposes.

Nowadays it houses the Museum of the Novojičín Region, whose exhibitions provide an overview of the history of the town and the development of hat fashion. Regular museum exhibitions are held in the historic halls of the castle.
