This unusual edifice was built by the architect Schmitz in 1900-01 at the request of Heinrich Liebieg.
The building of Výšina was intended mainly for tourists as a place of refreshment as well as a viewing tower. This building is also interesting for its charming age-old look, which was created by a simple trick of its builders - they used stone blocks from demolished mediaeval houses in Nuremberg. The building itself went through stormy times; it decayed as time went by and in the end it had to be closed.
