The Broumov group of Baroque churches, designed by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer and his father Christoph in the early 18th century, dots the landscape around the town. Nine churches in surrounding villages were built or rebuilt in this period, creating a concentration of High Baroque religious architecture unusual for a rural area. Restoration efforts since the 2000s have returned several to usable condition.
