Železný Castle, or Isenberg, once stood on Železný or Těšín hill at the site of the present quarry. Secret passages supposedly linked it to nearby Kozlov, Levín and Bradlec castles. Once, while repairing house no.61 on the site of a former stronghold, beneath which deep, extensive vaulted cellars survive, curious masons entered an underground passage towards Bradlec. After a while, a mysterious white hand appeared and extinguished their torches. They supposedly barely managed to return. A treasure is allegedly hidden in the passage.
