The most valuable monument is the Church of Saint Catherine in Svatá Kateřina. It was built in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century, on the site of a Gothic provostship with the chapel of the Virgin Mary.[7]

The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary is located in Nové Domky. It is a rare example of a church built purely in the Empire style. It dates from 1836. The building is dilapidated and unused, but is gradually repaired.[8]

The village of Diana is known for Diana Castle. It is a Baroque hunting lodge built before 1732 and modified in the Neoclassical style. It was built for the Kolowrat family and named after Diana, the goddess of hunters. Next to the castle is a park. Today the building is privately owned and unused.[9]
