The site is well documented, archaeologically explored somehow and protected by the state. According to sources available it is remains of a medieval fortress from the 13th century. And also a medieval village was located in close vicinity. Fortress and village were destroyed and abandoned allegedly during the Hussite wars in the early 15th century.
Central island has about 20 metres in diameter surrounded by ditch 2,5 m deep. The outer rampart reaches a width up to 15m. Keep is quite a challenge to locate, being situated out of beaten track. Anyway short visit is definitely worth it!
