The main landmark of Vranov is the Church of Saint Wenceslaus. The most valuable part is the sacristy with an apse, which was preserved from the original pre-Romanesque church from the 11th century. The church was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century, when the tower added. Neo-Baroque modifications were made in 1905.
