Albert of Hodice lead a luxurious life and he treated the castle and park in the same way. Within his reign, the castle of Rudoltice became a cultural center of Silesia and was famous all over the Europe.  Members of the castle music band were Karl Ditters of Dittersdof and Karl Hanke, the theatre was directed by Johann Jindřich Muller.
