History and village landmarks

The Lazinov cross was erected in 1860, restored in 2006 and placed on the village square in the bay of the reservoir in 2008.

The stone bell tower in Lazinov has no confirmed construction date; its erection is estimated to have taken place around 1832. The bell tower contains a wooden bell frame. The bell in the tower was consecrated on June 4, 1922, and has survived to this day. The bell tower was renovated in 2005.

The construction of the reservoir on the Křetínka from 1972 to 1978 flooded the settlement of Stavení and the lower-lying part of Lazinov. At the viewpoint above the former site of the Masákův Mill, a bench and a Vodník figure commemorate the old mill and the flooded part of the municipality; from there, visitors can enjoy a view of the now-flooded Křetínka Valley.
