The remnants of the castle was strategically situated above the road from Rýmařov to Uničov, it can be found about 3 km southwest of Rýmařov. Its name was recorded for the first time in 1282 on the copy of the seal of its probable founder Beneš from Štítina – „de Strálek“. Around the year 1323, the title „from Strálek“ was also used by his descendants Zbyněk and Dobeš. At that time the importance of the castle started to decline gradually.
Later the castle was bought by lords from Valečov but they sold it immediately around 1352 to the Czech king Charles IV and in the 1st half of the 14th century in turned into an uninhabited ruin. An easy track marked with red signs goes to the castle ruins oriented to the south from Rýmařov along which you will get to the crossroad „Pod Strálkem“ and here you take the red signed turning od 300 m towards the castle ruins.
