The history of Seeberg (Czech: Ostroh) dates back to the Bronze Age. Seeberg Castle was built around the year 1200 as the seat of one of the ministers from Eger on the site of a much older hillfort. The castle was first mentioned in writing in 1322 as part of the property that Ludwig IV of Bavaria pawned to King John of Luxembourg. Over the centuries, it had numerous owners and experienced devastating events, including the Swedish conquest in 1648 during the Thirty Years' War. Since 1990, the castle has been accessible to the public after reconstruction by the City Museum in Františkovy Lázně in the 1970s. Guided tours through exhibitions on various topics are offered. The divided castle sits enthroned on a rocky outcrop above the Slatinný stream. The forecourt is built with half-timbered houses from the 18th century. In the castle core, a Romanesque wall with a gate is partially preserved.
