Culture and History

The fortified small town of Radkov, with a small castle seat, was founded in the second half of the 13th century. To this day, a ditch carved into the rock, up to 30 m wide, remains visible in the terrain as a remnant of the fortified settlement of Radkov and its fortifications.

Dolní Mill, Fleckův mlýn, was first mentioned in 1680 under the name “Rottendorf mühle – Radkovský mlýn”. In 1835, it consisted of a masonry mill building with two wheels powered by a millrace on the right bank of the Třebůvka.
