The new owners have been changing until 1728 when the mansion and its belonging propriety were bought by the Emperor Charles VI who united it with the stud farm in Lipica. It remained a court stud farm until the First World War than it passed into military hands. Only after the Second World War the Castle Prestranek again revived as part of the Lipica stud. It has become private propriety after the Slovenia’s independence and it has focused on horse breeding and tourism.

Today the estate covers about 300 hectares of land.
