Kyjovice Castle was built in 1783 by Count Quido Antonín of Kalkreuth in the Baroque style. In the first half of the 19th century, Count Arnošt Falkenhayn of Gloško had it remodelled in the Empire style, which it retains today. The Stolberg family owned it from 1915 until 1945, when they were expelled and the property passed to the Charity administration. Since 1967 it has housed a retirement home, and it underwent extensive reconstruction between 1999 and 2002.
The two Baroque statues by the drive, St John of Nepomuk and St Florian, date from the late 18th century and were erected under Quido Antonín of Kalkreuth. Since 1967 the building has housed a retirement home, so the former noble residence is now lived in by elderly residents of the area.
