The most important monument is the Church of Saints Fabian and Sebastian, located in Živohošť. The original church was a Romanesque building from the 11th century, built inside a gord of the Přemyslid dynasty. It was originally a three-nave basilica, which is rare for the Czech countryside. Around 1380, it was rebuilt in the Gothic style. Further modifications were made in the 15th and 16th centuries and then in the neo-Romanesque style in 1858–1859.[6]
