Culture
Veteran Car Club Tachlovice was founded in 1960.[5] Since 1976, it organises a veteran cars exhibition and contest called Tachlovice Triangle. It is held once a year in memory of the founder Jan Horák. Vehicles manufactured until the 1970s are displayed near the village common and some of them later compete driving on the triangle route.[6]

The main landmark of Tachlovice is the Baroque complex of the Church of Saint James the Great. The complex is made up of architecturally and historically significant buildings from the 1740s with clear remnants of the original Gothic construction.
