The castle of Nové Město nad Metují is a part the town historical preserve and is located in the west corner of the square. It was built together with the town itself, originally as a gothic style fort. Historical resources say that the foundation stone of the town and the castle was laid on the 10th of August 1501 at 2 p.m. by Jan Černčický of Kácov, the owner of the estate.
After the town fire in 1526, Jan Černčicky sold the estate to the Pernstejns, who were important and wealthy noble family of the time. Following the then modern Renaissance concepts, they began with renovations of their new residence and the town itself. The estate was then sold to Protestant noble family from Styria – the Stubenbergs. They completed the renaissance renovations of the town and the castle became a Renaissance chateau. After the Estates Rebellion of 1620, in which the Stubenbergs took the part of the anti-imperialist side, the Nové Město estate was confiscated by the emperor Ferdinand II. Albrecht of Valdstejn owned the estate for a short period of time, in 1624 it was bought by Trckas of Lipa. Again, in 1634, the estate was taken away when the then current owner Adam Erdman Trcka of Lipa and others were accused of anti-imperialist conspiracy and executed in 1634 in Cheb. The property and possessions were consequently given away by the Emperor as a reward for the assassination of the nobles. A Scottish noble, Walter of Leslie, a chief constable of Cheb at the time, later promoted to a field-marshal and a count of the empire, obtained the Nove Město estate. Under the reign of the House of Leslie, the Chateau received its most extensive renovations. The Baroque style structural changes and additions accomplished during this time remain to this day. The Chateau was widened by the addition of the ground floor arcade and the first and second floor halls. The second floor was richly embellished with stucco decorations and frescoes depicting tales from Greek and Roman mythology. In 1802, the last of Sir Walter´s family died and the Chateau was inherited by the family Ditrichstejn-Leslie. This family did not maintain the place and it remained mostly unoccupied which led to its dilapidation in 19th century.
