Culture and History

The hunting château in Roztěž was built in 1669; Roztěž Château was remodelled in 1909–1911 according to plans by the architect Leopold Bauer in the style of Viennese Secession Classicism. The former spa complex in Roztěž includes a stone fountain and three barrel-vaulted bridges.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Help in Lázně is an Empire-style building dating from 1817–1820. The grounds of the Lázeňský dům with this chapel include a terrace, a covered access route to the spring, former spa buildings, and a former forester’s lodge.
