Svéradice
Chapel of St Bartholomew — On the Kostelík hill stands the Chapel of St Bartholomew, founded in the second half of the 16th century, probably by Adam Chanovský of Dlouhá Ves and Chanovice, whose family held Svéradice for 202 years (1467–1669). In 1843 the chapel was enlarged to its present form. The baroque altar with a painting of St Bartholomew dates from the early 17th century, as evidenced by records from 1637–38. Their author is the renowned Jesuit writer and missionary Albrecht Chanovský of Dlouhá Ves, born in 1581 at the local stronghold. For the millennium of 2000, four residents of Svéradice erected a niche chapel of St Wenceslas on the Kostelík. The Svéradice stronghold stood within the grounds of the manorial farm no. 15, on the site where the granary stands today. Not far from it, in the easterly direction, stand a wayside shrine from 1868 by the road to Slatina, and beside it a marble gravestone lying flat in the ground, bearing an illegible coat of arms and the year 1747. This is most likely the last resting place of a French nobleman who perished here during a war of succession.
Chapel of St Anne — On the village green at Svéradice stands a baroque Chapel of St Anne (formerly of St Bartholomew) from 1834, built on the site of a smaller, inadequate chapel. The old part of the village preserves a considerable number of vernacular architecture buildings — houses no. 42, 61, 77, 58, 7, 72, 71 and granaries no. 3, 12, 18 and 23. It is worth noting that for decades the village has maintained the tradition of Old Bohemian masquerade processions, the raising of the maypole, and the harvest festival.
Museum — The village contains a private agricultural museum.
