In the distant past, a medieval wooden castle from the 15th century stood on the hill, which served as a Hussite fortress. Since no historical report has been preserved about it, the time of the castle's demise is still unknown. Only further archaeological research can give an answer to the question about the longevity of the castle. Maginhrad Hill with its steep slopes was inhabited and possibly fortified on its sides. He is mentioned in many works of famous Slovak writers and poets, such as Ján Botto, also known under the pseudonym Janko Maginhradský.
