history
In 1479 Petr Kaplirz de Sulewicz had the town of Winterberg fortified. Because of the unfavorable location of Castle Winterberg , which is on the southern slope of the castle hill above the city , he had a bastion built on the mountain as an artillery exterior with a mighty round tower surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped wall. In 1494 the rule of Winterberg passed into the possession of the Malovec von Malovice , who rebuilt the complex on a large scale.
In the course of the distribution of property in 1531 between the brothers Petr and Jan Malovec from Chýnov, the Haselburg became an independent castle for a short time as the seat of Petr Malovec from Chýnov. 1547 Malovec lost Chýnov after the battle of Muhlberg their goods because it stands the uprising against King Ferdinand I had supported.
Under the following owners, the Haselburg again served as the upstream bastion of Winterberg Castle. Wolf Nowohradsky von Kolowrat had a new Renaissance castle built in place of Winterberg Castle from 1622 to 1624. In 1630 Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg acquired the property. Johann Christian von Eggenberg bequeathed the goods to his wife Marie Ernestine von Schwarzenberg in 1710 , who left them to her brother Adam Franz Fürst von Schwarzenberg in 1719. This started after 1729 with the demolition of the now insignificant bastion. When Adam Franz died in 1732, only part of the walls had been demolished. His son Joseph Adam Fürst von Schwarzenberg stopped the work and released the space for building. From the middle of the 18th to the 19th century, the area around the round tower was built on with numerous chalets.

The mighty two-storey round tower with cross vaults and a diameter of 14 m has been preserved. Above the entrance there is a coat of arms of the Kaplirz de Sulewicz with the year 1479. The second floor originally served as living space.
