The Park of Reconciliation (Park der Versöhnung, Park smíření) in Železná (Eisendorf) was created in 2000 on the site of the former castle park. Where the castle once stood, which was destroyed after 1945 on the orders of the communist government, there is now a pavilion - actually with a fountain. However, it has not been in operation for a long time. In general, the green space has seen better days and appears unkempt. The park forms the entrance to the 113-hectare Srdíčko wildlife enclosure.

In the family-owned woodworking businesses, Count Jindřich Kolowrat-Krakowský commissioned this chapel in 1939. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint Sophia and was built as a memorial to the Count's first wife, Sofia Nikolaevna Trubetskaya, who died in 1938. The mother of four of the Count's five children lived to be only 38 years old.

The area around Diana Castle belonged in the 18th century to the Velkódvorec estate of the Kolovrat family. The first documented mention of the castle dates from 1742. The castle was built as a hunting lodge and therefore also named after Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt. It bordered a game reserve and an English park. Until 1948, the castle remained in family ownership, then it was nationalized. In 1960, the Tachov district established a retirement home here. After the Velvet Revolution, in 1991, the pre-war owner Jindřich Kolowrat-Krakowský, then already 94 years old and living in exile in the United States, visited Diana Castle. After 1992, he succeeded in bringing the dilapidated castle back into family ownership through restitution. Later, the partner of his son, Dominika Kolowrat-Krakowská, began a gradual restoration. The heart of the castle is a four-story building with a cruciform floor plan.
