Only several fragments of the Gothic Střílky Castle are preserved to this day.[2]

A fortress was built in Střílky in the 16th century. In the 17th century it was rebuilt to a representative Baroque residence, and in the 18th century it was further extended. It includes a castle park. Today the castle complex is privately owned.[3]
