Culture

The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk was built between 1760 and 1764 on the site of an earlier chapel. The listed building is a spacious Baroque structure with a unique mansard roof and a shape resembling a burning heart.

On the grounds of the Jewish cemetery in Radobyl stands a building with a stone taharah slab used for the ritual cleansing of the deceased. The pilgrimage spring above Jedlí and Skrýšov once attracted processions and individual visitors who prayed there for good health.
