In 1946, a stone monument was erected in Báňovice to mark the 50th anniversary of the school. It commemorates the headmaster Zdeněk Papoušek. Zdeněk Papoušek worked as a headmaster in Báňovice and was murdered by fascists in a concentration camp in Kassel.

There are eight crosses in the cadastral area of Báňovice.
