Culture and History

The ruins of Šenkenberk Castle, also known as Šimperk, lie 3 kilometres west of Olbramkostel. Šenkenberk is considered one of the oldest aristocratic foundations in Moravia and was probably built after 1240.

A document issued in Linz on 10 September 1538 elevated Olbramkostel to the status of a market town and granted it the right to hold a weekly market and an annual fair. The church in Olbramkostel was probably built around the middle of the 13th century, during the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style.

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands in the centre of Olbramkostel. During the reconstruction of this church in 1719, a Baroque side chapel dedicated to Saint Isidore was built. The Poklona in Olbramkostel is a Neoclassical niche chapel dating from around 1800 and an important example of small-scale sacred architecture on the edge of the settlement.

The Heimatkreuz, Lange Marter, and Saint Hubertus are located in the vicinity of Olbramkostel. A niche chapel stands by the cemetery in Olbramkostel. A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk stands behind the village on the road.
