In the 16th century, a Renaissance keep was built in Lány. In 1592, the keep was rebuilt to a hunting castle. It changed owners many times and underwent a major reconstruction in 1902–1903. In 1921, it was purchased by the Czechoslovak state and designated as an official summer presidential residence. Slovene architect Jože Plečnik was commissioned to make improvements both to the castle and the adjacent park. T. G. Masaryk, the first President, liked the castle and was allowed to stay there after his abdication in 1935 until his death in 1937. From 1921 served as his favourable summer residence. During World War II, the castle was a residence of Emil Hácha, an increasingly ill and incapacitated President of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
The castle was used only rarely during the Communist era. Many valuable artefacts, especially those designed by Jože Plečnik, were discarded during the tenure of Gustáv Husák. Only after the Velvet Revolution did the new President Václav Havel start to come to the castle regularly. Since then, it has been a place of many official sessions between the President and other top politicians.
The castle itself is closed to the public. The castle park is accessible on selected days, including weekends and public holidays.
