Culture

The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, together with the château, forms one of the historic architectural landmarks of Polní Voděrady. The present-day Polní Voděrady château is a Neoclassical building constructed at a new location in 1810–1811.

Historic details include the statue of Saint Francis Xavier, a Baroque sandstone sculpture dating from 1736–1739. It stands on the northeastern outskirts of Polní Voděrady on the road to Kolín and is freely accessible. The cemetery next to the church is still in use and contains several notable gravestones from the second half of the 19th century.

Only the brewery cellar remains of the former brewery building. It was restored as part of the château reconstruction in 2014–2016 and integrated into the château park. In the wider regional surroundings of Polní Voděrady lies Zámek Kačina, a château.
