The main landmarks of Radenín are the church and the castle. The castle was originally a fortress, first mentioned in 1363, which was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence at the beginning of the 17th century. In the first half of the 19th century, Neoclassical modification were made; further Neo-Renaissance modifications were made in 1869–1878. Today it houses an orphanage.[7]

The Church of Saint Margaret is a fortified church built in the Gothic style in the 14th century (before 1369). In the second half of the 16th century, it was modified in the Renaissance style. In 1732, the Chapel of Saint Barbara was added to the church.[8]

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is located in Hroby. The originally Gothic church was built in 1358. The church was damaged by fires in 1596, 1666 and 1791 and was reconstructed many times. In 1724, the tower was added.[9]
