Jan Rafael Chroustenský had built a Renaissance castle at the end of the 16th century. After the Battle of White Mountain, the properties of the Chroustenský family were confiscated, and in 1624 Černá was handed over to the Collalto family. They owned the estate until 1918, when the property was confiscated by the government.[2]

The castle underwent a Baroque reconstruction in the 18th century, but it mainly concerned interiors and the Renaissance character of the castle was preserved. After 1948 the castle was owned by the municipality, and social and cultural events were held there. At the beginning of the 1990s, the building was sold to the new owner. Today the castle is privately owned and inaccessible to the public.[2]
