Culture and History
In the centre of Věž stands the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk with a fire station. The year 1893 is displayed on its façade. The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk adjoins the castle park to the north; it was built in 1730.
Another trace of ecclesiastical history is the Chapel of Christ the King. It was built in the second half of the 1920s in a style imitating the Early Gothic period. It was commissioned by the then owners of Věž Castle, the Stangler family. Beneath the chapel is a crypt where members of the Stangler family were buried.
