Sights

Rosice Castle is the main sight in the town. It was built in the Renaissance style in 1570–1579 and replaced a Gothic medieval castle from the 13th century. It is surrounded by a large park. Nowadays a part of the castle is open to the public and another part houses a library and a cultural centre.

The parish Church of Saint Martin is the oldest monument in Rosice. The Romanesque windows in its 34 m-high tower indicate that the building dates probably from the 12th century. It was rebuilt several times. It has one Gothic and one Renaissance chapel. The interior has its current look since the 18th century.
