Folk architecture in the centre of Nosálov

The village of Nosálov consists of a unique complex of original wooden cottages from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, so called hop houses. They are a remnant of the times when there was a hop-growing area. The village is protected as a village monument reservation.[6]

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity in the centre of Nosálov was built in 1808 and is a valuable example of a small village building of this period.[7]
