The castle disappeared. The hill did not.

Ruský vrch looks modest enough to miss, which is exactly why it works. The municipal archaeological record identifies this rocky rise as Hausberg, roughly thirty metres of syenite where a fortified manor stood in the Middle Ages. The fortification itself has vanished, so the hill becomes the evidence you can still read. Its name changed too: the street was once Příkrá, briefly carried the German/Czech Hausberg form during the occupation, and became Ruský vrch in 1946 because of the Red Army memorial connected with the 1945 battle for Brno. One small hill therefore holds two very different historical layers — medieval local power and twentieth-century war memory — without needing a reconstructed castle.
