The Church of St Lawrence was built in 1605 on the site of a former Protestant prayer house. An incident in the Church of St Lawrence was connected with the witch trials, which claimed the lives of hundreds more people.

Sobotín Chateau was built on the site of an old ironworks. During its reconstruction in the 1840s, it acquired a Romantic historicist design and was surrounded by a chateau park, an ornamental pond, and several small park buildings.

The tradition of iron production in Sobotín dates back to the beginning of the 17th century and included bloomery furnaces, iron hammers, and foundries. At the height of its prosperity in 1852–1853, Sobotín became a centre of the Austrian iron industry; the operation, with a branch in Štěpánov near Olomouc, employed 2,000 workers.
