The ruins of a castle from 1365; massive stone walls have been preserved. As an aristocratic residence the fortress served the knight family of the Gerštorfs of Gerštorf from the first third of the 16th century until the Thirty Years War when it was burned.

===================================

Zrícenina gotické tvrze, založené roku 1365 vladykou Mikšíkem ze Svojšic, jak dokládá záznam v zemských deskách. Po jeho smrti zdedila tvrz jeho žena Anna, která se znovu provdala za Václava Ruthara z Malešova. Poté tvrz patrila jejich synum Petrovi a Mikulášovi ze Svojšic. Od 1. poloviny 16. století prešla tvrz snatkem do majetku rytírského rodu Gerštorfu z Gerštorfu, kterí ji drželi témer sto let až do tricetileté války, kdy byla vypálena. Poté postupne zpustla.
