Since the fort was bought, its beauty can only be enjoyed from a distance.

The fortress was built shortly after 1384 by the Kolín burgher Václav Hamr in the grounds of the court, which he bought from a burgher from Kutná Hora. In 1414, the completed fortress was mentioned. At that time, the fortress consisted only of a residential stone tower with a square layout of 9 × 9 meters, the floors of which were separated by wooden ceilings. The individual floors were accessed by a wooden staircase, from which a part of the peripheral masonry of the tower has been preserved. The farm facilities were located in the adjacent courtyard. The fortress area was then fortified by a massive wall. In the course of the 16th and 17th centuries, several owners took possession of the fortress, courtyard and village. After 1950 (after nationalization), the building housed offices, school and hostel for pupils. After 1989 the fortress was returned to one branch of the descendants of the original owners in restitution.
