Dřevohostice Castle
The main landmark of Dřevohostice is the Dřevohostice Castle. It is a Rennaisance four-winged castle built in 1595–1617. It was created by reconstruction of an old water fortress from the 14th century. Since 2002, it has been serving the cultural and social needs of the market town, and it also houses the exhibition of the sculptor Jiří Lender, the memorial hall of Cardinal Lev Skrbenský z Hříště and the museum of firefighting equipment.[7]
Another cultural monument is the Church of Saint Gall, built in the late Baroque style in the second half of the 18th century.[8]
