The main landmarks of Borotín are the church and the castle. The Borotín Castle was built in the late Baroque style in 1753. It has a valuable chapel dating from 1774, decorated with frescoes by Josef Stern. Today the building houses a retirement home.[3]
The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was built in 1786–1788, also in the late Baroque style. However, the tower of the newly built church soon collapsed and had to be rebuilt at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.[4]
