Church of Saint Nicholas

The main landmark of Nepomyšl is the Church of Saint Nicholas. It was originally a Gothic church from the 14th century, rebuilt in the Baroque style in the middle of the 18th century.[2][5]

A significant monument is the Nepomyšl Castle. It was originally a Gothic fortress, also dating from the 14th century. At the end of the 17th century, it was rebuilt into the Renaissance castle, but the castle retained some relics from the original fortress. The castle has a circular shape and there is a pentagonal courtyard in the middle of the castle.[2][6]
