The main landmark of Radíč is the Radíč Castle. It was originally a Renaissance fortress, rebuilt around 1680 into an early Baroque castle. Later it was modified and extended. A part of the castle complex is the Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, which is a copy of the chapel in the Einsiedeln Abbey. Today the castle is privately owned and is occasionally open to the public.
