The uninhabited Šporkovský Chateau burned in 1896 and the wreckage of the chateau and spa buildings was pulled down in 1901. During the Second World...

• Zvičina - chalet and lookout tower
  The remarkable lookout tower with glassed-in revolving cupola was put into service by Czech tourists after many hardships in 1926. The rather low tower is a part of Rais Lodge and unfortunately unavailable for many years. However, the hilltop of Zvičina (671m) protrudes above surrounding low hills to such extent that it provides fine, if not entirely panoramic view of its surroundings.
