After the castle passed to the Trkas of Lpa in 1456, its owners changed frequently. Around 1523 it was acquired by Petr Malovec, whose descendants held it until the beginning of the eighteenth century. Jan Krytof Malovec had it rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1673. Later, various foreign, mainly German, families owned Kmen, including Vclav Enis of Atter, of Scottish origin, who had it rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style between 1860 and 1870. The castle was taken into state ownership in 1948, became the property of the town of Pelhimov in 1964 and is now owned by the Vysoina Region.
