It was founded as a Gothic fortress in the style of French castles at the end of the 13th century, probably by Bishop Tobias of Benešov. Konopiště was turned into a Baroque residence in the 18th century by the Vrtba family. Franz Ferdinand d'Este, who bought the castle in 1887, rebuilt Konopiště into a magnificent imperial residence.
The grounds consist of a chateau, a barn and a granary. In the core there is a late Baroque chateau building and a Baroque granary. The interiors of the chateau have been completely adapted, without original details.
