Like almost every great Bohemian castle, Krasíkov, the former Švamberk seat, had its White Lady. She appeared before a birth or death in the family. She supposedly showed herself to Jan Bedřich of Švamberk on the eve of the fire that reduced the mighty castle to ruins. Folk belief says she still appears in the buried remains and abandoned chapel.
