The church of St. Catherine was originally built in the Gothic style in the first half of the 14^th century. It underwent some alterations in 1684 and consequently reconstructed between 1888 – 1889 when the height of the nave was increased and a tower added.

Manufactory of earthenware:  Production was established in the early 90th of  the 18th century - probably 1791 or 1793 -  by Franz Joseph of  Vrtba (1759-1830). Initially, it took place in the buildings of the Týnec castle complex . In 1812, a new two-storey rectangular building was built due to expansion of production. In 1866, production stopped and the building remained unused

The castle is probably of royal foundation, although the beginnings of its history are not documented. The first written mention of Zbořený Kostelec (originally called Kostelec nad Sázavou) dates back to 1341, when King John of Luxembourg gave it as a pledge to Oldřich of Valdek, the owner of neighbouring Týnec.

In the museum there is a rare exposition of stoneware from Tyniec. There is a lookout tower in the prismatic Gothic tower, which is the summer residence of the protected big bat.
