Historic coat of arms at Kobylkova Tvrz

Kobylkova Tvrz

Above one of the windows, the original coat of arms of the Kobylka of Kobylí family is still preserved with the year 1551. The Kobylka family acquired the Podolí estate as hereditary property around the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries.

After the Battle of White Mountain, the property was confiscated. It was later purchased by Bishop František of Dietrichstein and attached to the Mírov estate.

Preserved historic details

The building has a rectangular ground plan, one upper floor, a gabled roof and a simple facade. The former knightly residence is recalled by the stone coat of arms of the Kobylka of Kobylí family.

Parts of Renaissance sgraffito and valuable remains of Gothic plaster are preserved on the building.
