The Postal Haideck is an Outbound Spur castle east of the hamlet Haideck , now amalgamated with Oberkotzau in district court .

The castle was built as the outbuilding of the ancestral seat of the von Kotzau family . It was destroyed in a feud against the imperial cities , especially Eger , in 1335 or 1337 and was then considered a desolate castle . The Hussites destroyed an apparently rebuilt tower. In 1540 stones were removed for buildings in Oberkotzau. In 1607 a little castle burned down below the castle stables and was rebuilt a little later. Owners were u. a. the Zedtwitz , the Müffling and several times the Hohenzollern as burgraves, margraves and barons of Kotzau.

The Burgstall lies at 568  m above sea level. NN high rock plateau of the Haidberg. The plateau has a steep gradient and is protected by rocks in the west and east. The entrance is also to the west. The plateau surface, which has not yet been explored in more detail, shows clear unevenness in the ground, traces of a wall can be seen.
