Culture and History

The Chapel of the Holy Cross dates from 1717 and stands next to the sports field in Rovná. Agricultural homestead No. 26 on Rovná village square dates from 1852. It has a gable in the folk Baroque style, a vaulted chamber that served as a kitchen, and a room with a wooden-beam ceiling.

At the southern edge of the abandoned limestone quarry on Zbuš stand two dome-shaped lime kilns built of fired bricks.
