Nejvýznamejší archeologickou památkou Hádu z období stredoveku je zrícenina hradu Obrany. Dejiny hradu však sahají hluboko do minulosti. Navíc hrad dlouho nestál, proto se mnoho písemných zmínek nedochovalo. Založen byl približne na konci 13. století (dle nekterých pramenu 1278). Na hrade se meli ale brzy usadit zbojníci a napadat pocestné do nedalekého Brna. Meštané se proto nakonec vzbourili a v roce 1315 nebo 1316 hrad srovnali se zemí.
