Sights

The main landmark of Hrádek is the Church of Saint George. It was built in 1692, after the old wooden church from the first half of the 14th century was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.[2]

The Hrádek u Nechanic Castle was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1839–1857, but despite its name, it is located in the vicinity of the village outside the municipal territory.[2]
