The Count Harrach transported a number of antiques from abroad, mainly from Italy and Austria, he bought entire portals, ceilings or complete furnishings of the rooms. His fairy dream vanished soon: in 1866 during the Prussia- Austrian war a military hospital was established in the chateau. After the Second World War the Harrachs lost the chateau by confi scation.

The inspiration was drawn from his trips around England.
