Svatý Hubert is a complex of Baroque and Neoclassical buildings with an octagonal hunting lodge from the 18th century in its centre. It was built for the Czernin family in the middle of the former fallow deer park. Near Svatý Hubert is Plaveč, a Baroque summer house that belonged to the hunting lodge.[3] [4]
In the centre of Drahouš is the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk. This Baroque chapel was rebuilt into its current form in 1852.[5]
