Buchlovice is known for the Buchlovice and Buchlov castles. Both have high historical and architectural value and are protected as national cultural monuments.

Buchlov Castle is located on the eponymous hill above the market town. It was founded in the first half of the 13th century and gradually built in the 13th–18th centuries. Today the castle is owned by the state. It is open to the public and offers guided tours. The protected area of the castle also includes the Chapel of Saint Barbara, situated on the neighbouring Modla hill. It was built in the early Baroque style in 1672–1673.

Buchlovice Castle is located in the centre of the market town. It was built in the Baroque style at the beginning of the 18th century, in the style of Baroque Italian villas. It is surrounded by a large park and gardens.

Among the notable buildings is the Church of Saint Martin. It is an early Baroque building from the mid-17th century, modified at the beginning of the 20th century.
