The Baroque church of St. Moritz was built in the years 1749-52. In 1904 it was repaired and the tower received a copper dome.

The predecessor of today's church was probably the Romanesque church, which is first mentioned in 1253, when King Wenceslas I handed it over to the Knights of the Red Star. In its vicinity stood in the Middle Ages the second, smaller church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, built probably after Wenceslas II. dedicated Řevnice to the Cistercian monastery in Zbraslav in 1292.

The area also includes a morgue, two crosses in the cemetery and a statue of St. Jan Nepomucký in front of the enclosure wall is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
