Culture
The focal point is Jindřichov Castle. It was built by the Hodic of Hodice family in the second half of the 17th century and has had its present Empire-style appearance since being rebuilt after a fire in 1844. The castle park contains a listed castle belvedere dating from the first half of the 19th century. The park is open to the public from May to September.
A tour route through the castle includes, among other things, the Knights’ Hall, the library, an exhibition of historic toys and the Small Jindřichov Museum. It is located on the first floor of Jindřichov Castle and displays photographs and objects relating to Jindřichov’s pre-war and post-war history, the local castle and brewery, and the everyday life of the local population.
The history of brewing is also part of the town’s character: a brewery was built in Jindřichov in 1589, making it one of the very first breweries in Moravia. Near the main entrance to the castle grounds on the main road stands a monumental Baroque Marian column with additional statues of saints dating from 1757. This Marian ensemble is an artistically valuable listed monument.
History
Today’s Church of St Nicholas was designed on the model of a Roman basilica and is documented in archival sources for the year 1672. It is a three-nave church with a prismatic tower and is surrounded by a wall with Baroque statues of Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Florian.

It also contains a listed rural house from the 18th century and a free-standing, timber-clad barn from the 19th century; both buildings are listed monuments.
