The oldest stone sculpture in Trakovice is a statue of the Virgin Mary erected in 1884 and restored in 1999. A statue of Saints Cyril and Methodius dates from 1924. The statue of the Holy Trinity was erected in 1923 by the St. Vojtech Association, while a statue of Saint Florian stands next to the fire station.

A painting of Saint Alexius from 1792 is also among the cultural monuments mentioned; it was created by the painter Jozef Brandt from Hlohovec.
