The castle, of which a mighty cylindrical tower and slight building remains survive, supposedly hides buried treasures like nearby Točník. On St Rufus's Day the riches may be seen and, at midnight, some taken. Ghosts of King Václav IV and his retinue also appear that day. If anyone wanders here then, the king asks what people say about him and demands the complete truth.
