A prominent historical landmark is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary: its origins are estimated to date to the late 12th century and the Romanesque period. Marked hiking trails also run through the valleys of the Oslava and Chvojnice rivers. When planning a visit, you can therefore focus on cultural history, outdoor activity or local traditions.

Church, Castle and Local History

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary has three historically valuable bells. The oldest was hung in 1491. Together with the estimated Romanesque origins, this gives the church a long historical span, although the two dates refer to different events: the bell was added considerably later than the church’s presumed origins.

Lamberk Castle is also part of the area’s history. Its surviving remains lie southwest of Březník on a steep, elongated rocky promontory on the left bank of the Oslava. The castle fell into ruin before 1459. Another historical landmark is the memorial to the fallen in Březník, which was ceremonially unveiled on 3 August 1924.
