Baroque castle

The Střílky Castle is a ruin of a Gothic castle from the second half of the 13th century. It is located on the Hrad hill southeast of the village. Only several fragments (the castle core, the torso of the round tower, ramparts and ditches) are preserved to this day.[5]

A fortress was built in Střílky in the 16th century. In the 17th century it was rebuilt to a representative Baroque residence, and in the 18th century it was further extended. It includes a castle park. Today the castle complex is privately owned.[6]
