The castle was named after Gutta Hroznatová, whose ghost appears in the ruins as a White Lady. A praying monk’s ghost supposedly haunts them with her. He was once the local priest and revelled with the castle lord, who killed him while drunk during a drinking bout. His spirit must haunt the ruins until a virtuous young man frees him.
