Sights
The most valuable building is the small castle in Petrkov. It was originally a fortress, first documented in 1540, which was rebuilt in the first half of the 18th century. Bohuslav Reynek was born there.[7] Today the Petrkov Castle houses the Czech-French Cultural Centre Petrkov, managed by the Memorial of National Literature. It was founded in honour of the work of Reynek and his French wife Suzanne Renaud.[8]
The main landmark of the village of Lípa is a Marian column from 1760.[9]
