T. G. Masaryk Square is interesting in that it is actually a kind of quiet park with lots of greenery, which is bordered on all sides by interesting architectural monuments - a castle, church, parish and school building. There is also a Marian column, an impressive Baroque sculpture, a free-standing cross by the church and a TGM monument. The area of ​​the baroque church of St. Kateřiny was founded in 1706 under the patronage of the Kinský family. The church was rebuilt in the years 1717–1719 by the Italian builder Petr Pavel Columbani. Next to the church there is a baroque column with a statue of the Virgin Mary dating from 1694. The sandstone Marian column consists of a prismatic plinth with dates and festoons and a Corinthian column bearing a statue of the Madonna. The late Baroque rectory from 1784 stands on the site of an older rectory, which has been documented here since the 14th century. It is a beautiful two-storey brick building with a high mansard roof. The building has been preserved in a very authentic condition. The sculpture of Calvary is located near the rectory. According to the inscription, it was created by Antonín Braun in 1740. It is an important late Baroque sculptural work created on the estate of the Kinský family. About the middle of the park is the TGM monument with a sandstone bust of the president, carved by the stonemason J. Vít. The site of the monument used to be a plague column, which was moved in front of the main entrance of the church due to the monument.
