Culture and History

The present-day building of Svatá Barbora is Late Gothic and was first documented in 1503. Svatá Barbora is privately owned, has been restored by the owners and is currently not accessible to the public.

The chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary on the village square in Ratiboř was built in 1780. It stands in the upper part of the square and is lined with linden trees.

The small Čestův hrádek fortress was built above Ratiboř to protect the old country road from Austria through the area towards Tábor. Čestův hrádek was abandoned sometime after 1417 and destroyed during the Hussite Wars. No structural remains of Čestův hrádek have survived; the site continues to bear the name Hrad.
