A landmark of Zavlekov is a ruin of the old fortress from the 14th century. A part of the residential tower-shaped palace connected to the round bastion has been preserved. The new fortress was built in the centre of the village in the second half of the 16th century. Only the Gothic portal survived from it. A granary was built from the remains of the new fortress. It is protected as a technical monument.

The most important monument is the Church of the Holy Trinity. It was built in the Baroque style in 1773 on the site of an old Gothic church.
