Church of the Holy Trinity

The most important monument is the Church of the Holy Trinity in Černívsko. It was originally a Gothic building from the 14th century, which was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1722.

The Křikava Castle in Černívsko dates from the 14th century and was first mentioned in 1357. In the 15th century, it was abandoned, probably as a result of the Hussite Wars. Today it is a ruin with only a few fragments remaining.
