The castle is a complex of buildings in renaissance style built for Trcka of Lipa on the location of a former gothic castle. A representative renaissance seat of the Trèkas of Lipa, it was built between 1560 and 1569. In 1634 when Jan Rudolf Trcka died, his testament was ignored. The Colloredos received the property for their support to Habsburks, instead of passing the property to Trcka's daughters and grand-daughter. The Colloredos had the chateau modified (probably by architect G. B. Alliprandi).
Historical interiors with a fine gallery founded by F. G. Colloredo Mansfeld, a library, and halls with ethnographic collections.
An armoury housing weaponry from the 16th to 19th centuries, including oriental weapons.
Large garden with ponds, a renaissance summer house and an extensive landscape park with a rich collection of tree species.
In 2003 regional court decided to return the Opocno castle from the state possession to Colloredo family.
