Remains of a rock castle of the Ronovec family, originated in the early 14th century and burnt down in 1639 by the Swedish. In 1670-1785 the dilapidated castle became a place for the hermits, who adjusted it to their needs. Joseph II abolished the hermitage and the Kinský family reconstructed the castle into a romantic summer residence. Rock chambers (corridors, a chapel, a “dungeon” in the shape of a jar, an “armoury”), terraced galleries, a sculpture of a hermit.
