The parish church of St. Nicholas in Pouzdřany is a late Gothic building dating from 1498. It was probably fortified originally and was remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Renaissance House No. 115 near the Church of St. Nicholas in Pouzdřany preserves a mázhaus on the ground floor, as well as rooms with groin vaults.

The chateau in Pouzdřany was originally a Renaissance building from the end of the 16th century and was later remodelled and extended in the Baroque period and in the 19th century. It stands on a U-shaped ground plan; an arcade gallery has been preserved on the ground floor of the courtyard.
