A settlement 1.5 km southwest of Kuttenberg built along Bylanka creek.
According to archaeological findings, the history of the local settlement dates back to the New Stone Age (about 4,000 BC). The first written mention of the village is from 1143, when Miroslav of Zimburg donated it to the Sedletz Monastery. The village later passed from the monastery into private hands and often changed owners.
Near the village is the Spring of St Adalbert (pramen sv. Vojtěcha), which supplied the whole of Kuttenberg through wooden pipes, starting in the Middle Ages.
To this day, massive slag heaps lie in the village along the Bylanka creek. These are remnants of medieval mining, when surplus and waste material from nearby mines was deposited here.
