Dřevohostice Castle is a four-wing Renaissance water castle built on the site of a water fortress that already stood there before 1368. It is considered one of the most important monuments of the Moravian Renaissance.

The Renaissance Brethren bell tower in Dřevohostice is a five-storey building standing 25 metres high; its current form dates from 1581. The “Maria” bell in the Dřevohostice bell tower dates from 1721 and weighs 685 kilograms. In Novosady, in front of house no. 359, stands a statue of Saint Roch, a popular Baroque sculpture from the second half of the 18th century.
