On a steep, wooded hilltop (680 m), about two kilometres west of Lhota pod Radčem, once stood a small castle. Only scattered stones on the slope remain. Local people say treasures are still hidden in its filled-in cellars, guarded by evil spirits. Several alleged adventures of treasure seekers are recorded, but none ended successfully. A version of the familiar treasure legend used in Erben’s Kytice is also attached to the castle. Another tale says three enchanted maidens rest inside beneath the ruins.
