Culture

The Church of Sts. Simon and Jude was remodelled in the Baroque style by F. Spannbrucker between 1698 and 1700. It forms part of a protected heritage ensemble with a bell tower and an enclosing wall with a gate. The church also houses an organ built in 1892 in the workshop of organ builder Josef Kobrle from Lomnice.

Next to the church stands the wayside shrine from 1779. It consists of a column with a relief of the Virgin Mary and a small chapel with a relief of the crucified Jesus. It was restored between 1994 and 1996 and declared a cultural monument in November 2002.

The light sandstone statue of Saint John of Nepomuk in Chyjice is a work of High Baroque sculpture and bears a relief of Saint Charles Borromeo on its front.
