The church tower in Koloveč is 35 metres high, and inside the church there is an original sculpture of the Stations of the Cross. In a major fire in Koloveč in 1729, a total of 51 houses, the town hall, the school, and the church were destroyed. The church was rebuilt in the Baroque style after the fire; reconstruction was completed in 1732.

Today’s town hall in Koloveč was rebuilt in 1826–1830 after the former town hall burned down and now serves as a library and clubroom. The Liberation Monument in Koloveč was restored in 1990 in the town centre, just four metres from its original location.
