The Church of St. Gall was built in Chlumec between 1847 and 1852. Its grounds include a surrounding wall with an entrance gate, a bell tower, and the church on a raised spur of land. It contains figurative Renaissance tombstones of the Kölbl family dating from 1606 to 1619.

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity contains wall frescoes from 1691 depicting the Te Deum, and was built to commemorate the averting of the plague epidemic of 1680. Its floor plan has the shape of an equilateral triangle. The Martínkovna documents the original folk architecture in Chlumec.

The Battle of Chlumec took place on 29 and 30 August 1813 near Chlumec and Přestanov in northern Bohemia. The Monument to the Battle of 1813 stands on the eastern edge of Chlumec at the foot of Horka and was erected in 1913 to mark the centenary of the battle. The anniversary monument is a 26-metre-high Art Nouveau monument crowned by a lion sculpture.

The Stations of the Cross begins at the Church of St. Gall and climbs around the basalt hill of Horka to the Chapel of the Holy Trinity. The Chlumec Stations of the Cross consists of fourteen sandstone niche chapels.
