The memorial is actually the summer villa of the Lada family, built by Josef Lada in the 1930s. In the 1960s, Mrs. Alena Ladová - Vránová donated this building to the state so that a Josef Lada museum could be established here. Since 1986, the Josef Lada Memorial has been managed by the museum - today the Regional Museum Prague - East based in Brandýs nad Labem, whose founder is the Central Bohemia Region.
The construction of Říčany Castle was probably initiated by Ondřej of Všechromy, the founder of the noble family of Říčany. This aristocrat was a devoted adherer to King Přemysl Otakar II. At first he was appointed the King’s personal valet with the function of serving food and from 1260 he acted as the senior valet. Such a political position also needed a corresponding representative seat which initiated the construction work on the castle (1260 – 1270), probably built on foundations of an older wooden fortress. Říčany is first mentioned in written records in 1289. Later a village of the same name was established in the area under the castle.
