It is possible to admire the preserved sections of the town wall and the main gate leading into the town as well as historical houses with sgraffiti decorations dating back to the 16th century. There is also an old water cistern located in the vaulted cellars beneath the town square. The former textile factory houses an outstanding textile museum. The countryside in the entire Weitra district is also enchanting. Thanks to the area’s location not far from the until recently inaccessible border area, it has remained almost untouched, similar to the situation in the Novohradské hory (New Castle Mountains) on the Czech side of the border.
