?Nevelky hrad Buben staval u obce Plesnice na skalnatem ostrohu nad soutokem Plesnickeho potoka a reky Mze. Jiz kolem r. 1170 se sice pripomina Gumpold z Bubna a jmeno hradu se ozyva take v pridomku hrabat z Bubna a Varlejchu z Bubna, ale nevime, proc tomu tak je, zda vubec nekdo z nich byl kdy majitelem hradu. Lokalita Buben se uvadi poprve az v r. 1349, avsak teprve r. 1390 je oznacena jako "hradek Buben" na ceste k Plzni.
A small castle Drum near the village of Plesnice stood on a rocky promontory above the confluence of Plesnicky stream and Mze river. Already around the year 1170, although Gumpold reminds of the drum and the name of the castle is echoed in the surname of the Counts of Varlejch drum and the drum, but we do not know why this is so, if anyone of them was the owner of the castle. Location drum stated for the first time in 1349, but 1390 is still marked as "drum castle" on the way to Pilsen.
