According to legend, in ancient times there was a boulder with bowl-shaped indentations made according to ancient pagan rituals, on which 14 small lights appeared. However, the oldest surviving history of the place takes us back to the Middle Ages, probably the second half of the 14th century, when the Church of the Fourteen Holy Helpers was founded here under the patronage of the Order of the Crusaders of the Red Star Luxembourg was introduced in Tachov.

Above the riding school there is a ruin that is in poor condition. A real lost place. It is a castle that was never really completed and which in turn was built on an abandoned Pauline monastery. There was a chapel or church at this point as early as the 13th century. Unlike the riding school, care is now the responsibility of the Pilsen region.
