Today it houses a museum and gallery. Next to the castle is a castle park with a beararium built in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historie zámku|url=https://www.kladenskyzamek.cz/cs/historie-zamku|work=Kladenský zámek|publisher=City of Kladno|language=cs|access-date=2023-03-13}}</ref><ref name=sights>{{cite web |title=Historické památky Kladna|url=https://mestokladno.cz/historicke-pamatky-kladna/d-1401490|publisher=City of Kladno|language=cs|access-date=2023-03-13}}</ref>
