These are the rests of a former early Gothic castle which was build by lords from Žinkov in the 13th century. The castle was derelicted during the 14th century. There are deep ditches, some rests of peripheral walls and towers. Below the ruin there is a Romantic hermitage and to the east from the castle there is a gloriet from the beginning of the 19th century. About 0,5 kilometers to the south there is "Obrovo hradiště" - some rests of Celtic and Slavonic settlement.
