Buildings
- The Gothic parish church of St. Nicholas from the 14th century was rebuilt several times in the following period. While the lower choir is ribbed, the nave closes off a wooden ceiling. The onion dome helmet dates from 1915.
- The late baroque, formerly Protestant prayer house church is today the Catholic auxiliary church Maria Hilf. It is a hall building with a mansard roof and ridge turret, which was built between 1780 and 1782.
- The Gothic residential tower is the largest in Central Europe. It was built for Duke Heinrich I von Jauer . Its construction is dated to the years 1313/1314. In 1354 Hans von Redern bought the estate. In 1443 the castle complex was destroyed except for the residential tower, which was then increased by a fourth floor. After various changes of ownership, the estate belonged to Count Schaffgotsch from neighboring Bad Warmbrunn from 1732 to 1945 . In the 18th century, the outer buildings were built on the surrounding walls. The Gothic wall paintings discovered in 1880 in the large hall on the third floor of the residential tower are significant in terms of art history. They were probably created around 1345/46 and were expanded after 1354. The painter came from what is now northern Switzerland. The murals are also unique in terms of their secular content; they depict scenes from the Arthurian legend . They are also the only medieval paintings in Europe that show Lancelot, a knight of the round table. But there are also depictions of religious content such as the heavenly Jerusalem on the vault or St. Christopher, the protector of all knights and an example of steadfast loyalty to his Lord Christ, i.e. an example of a good Christian and vassal. The tower was built next to a ford through the Bober on the way from Prague to Wroclaw and was originally surrounded by fortifications that were leveled by 1840. During the Second World War, private works of art from Berlin were relocated to various Silesian castles, including the Boberröhrsdorf residential tower, where they were confiscated by the Red Army after the end of the war and brought to the USSR.
