‘Řebřík’ Castle was built at the beginning of the 14th century and began to decline as early as at the end of the 15th century. As a whole, the settlement complex consisted of castle with a three-compartment palace and two courtyards. A manorial farm and a village, both situated nearby, formed the economic (farming) hinterland of the castle. It also included a pit quarry and a fish pond. The still standing Church of Sts Peter and Paul dates to around the mid 14th century.
