The chateau in Rokytnice in the Orlické Mountains was the ancestral seat of the Nostitz-Rieneck family for 300 years. In the 20th century, the castle was not favoured by fate. Today, the castle is once again in private ownership with the intention of returning the grounds to their original status as a noble residence.

Cultural life has a very long tradition in Sobotka. Already in the middle of the 19th century there was an amateur theatre in one of the oldest theatre halls in the Czech countryside (former Baroque salt house in No. 5 on the square).

The monastery was founded in the 13th century by the Benedictines of Břevnov and underwent reconstructions. It houses the Museum of the Town of Police nad Metují (the exposition is open seasonally). The abbey organises cultural events in the former Refectory.

The history of Broumov Abbey dates back to the 13th century and the Benedictines are still active in the Broumov region today. The history is commemorated by a number of monuments, such as the imposing monastery in Broumov, a group of rural churches from the workshop of Kryštof and Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, the chapel at Hvězda or the former monastery in Police n. Metují.
