Culture and History

The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk has a stone portal bearing the coat of arms of Anna Polyxena z Clary a Adringen and the year 1711. The niche chapel with the statue of Saint John of Nepomuk takes the form of a richly decorated volute column with a niche containing the statue; it can be dated to the period shortly after 1750.

The Church of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist was built in 1595 on the site of an older structure and is part of an area with archaeological finds. The unusually designed sandstone group of Saints Peter and Paul bears the year 1776 on the front of the pedestal. A stone cross has also been preserved in Hospozín, a high-quality example of late Rococo craftsmanship.

The early Baroque granary is a two-storey building with a rectangular floor plan and a hipped roof; its original timber construction has been preserved. The façades feature inscribed cartouches bearing the year 1673, while the year 1709 is carved into the door. Above the main entrance is a richly decorated supraporte bearing the coat of arms of the owners of the estate, the Kinský family.
