In the local part named Hájek is located a pilgrimage site with a Franciscan monastery. The oldest part of the early Baroque complex is a Loretan chapel, built in 1623–1625. The monastery was then added to the chapel in 1663–1681.[5] Hájek is the destination of the pilgrimage starting in Prague-Břevnov.[6]
In 2001, an artificial castle was built in Červený Újezd. It houses a museum, but it also serves cultural and social purposes. There is a small open-air museum in the castle's gardens.[7]
