On 6 October 1620, 200 men fell here. The monument to the battle at the place called Vražda was created by the historian of Starý Smolivec Karel Kabátník. In 2011, together with the employees and citizens of Mladý Smolivec, he erected it on the site of the battlefield.

The Battle of Starý Smolivec, also called the Battle of Radošice or the Battle of Vražda, was a minor military clash between the imperial troops of General Charles Bonaventure Buquoy's army and the army of the Czech Estates under the command of Christian I the Elder of Anhalt during the Czech Estates' Revolt at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War. It took place on Tuesday, 6 October 1620 in the valley of the Lomnice River near the villages of Radošice and Starý Smolivec in southwest Bohemia.
