Noviny pod Ralskem is known for the Ploučnice Gap. It is an artificially created tunnel through the rock, which served the operation of a hammer mill. It is several centuries old and is protected as a cultural monument. It consists of two tunnels, 13 and 41 meters long, through which the Ploučnice river flows and overcomes the rock barrier.[3] [4]
The main landmark of the centre of the village and the only sacral building is the Chapel of the Holy Trinity. It was built in the late Baroque style in 1786.[5]
On the Ralsko mountain there is a ruin of a Gothic castle. It has been desolate since the 16th century.[6]
