Deserted medieval ‘Baštiny’ priory represents one of the rare examples of this type of archaeological sites. A subordinate monastic house of the Benedictine monastery at Ostrov near Davle was founded here before the mid 14th century and was abandoned shortly thereafter during the Hussite Wars. Dominating the site are extensive ruins of the church surrounded by relics of other buildings. Traces of later forest industrial and mining activities are present in the surrounding area.
