The main landmark of Dolní Bukovsko is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Originally an early Gothic building from the 13th century, it was rebuilt into its present pseudo-Gothic form in 1853–1855. In the interior, valuable Gothic wall paintings from the 1360s have been partially preserved. Next to the church is a small chapel from the 18th century.{{cite web |title=Kostel Narození P.

The Church of Saint Stephen is located in Horní Bukovsko. It was built in the Gothic style and then rebuilt several times. In 1670, it was extended and the tower was added.
