The first mention of the castle dates back to the 14th century. The castle is associated with the Portuguese Silva Tarouca family and their frequent guest, the painter Josef Mánes, whose numerous works are part of the castle exhibition. In 2016, the castle was opened to the public after partial reconstruction. In addition to a tour of the castle interiors, three other routes are offered: the Zdeněk and Jan Svěrák Film Museum, a guided tour of the English park including a climb to the so-called Red Tower and an exhibition of historical bicycles.

Near the village of Mořice between Vyškov and Kroměříž, a unique project, an artificial wetland, was created in 2004 on waterlogged fields. The Mokroš Biocenter consists of several ponds surrounded by meadows, trees and bushes, which will eventually become a floodplain forest with typical flora and fauna. The retention tank is not only a hideout for wildlife, but also a pleasant environment where you can go for a walk in nature. For visitors, a roof walkway was built here for easy movement, as well as a resting gazebo, which also serves as an observation deck. Those who would like to learn something new can look forward to the information panels. The Biocenter is publicly accessible and you can almost reach it by car: after the last houses in the village in the direction of Němčice, you have to turn left into the fields, the introductory panel is right next to the road. The wetland is located at the end of the avenue of poplars and is only a few hundred meters away on foot, with a stroller or by bike. The nearest railway station is in Němčice, from where it is about 3.5 kilometers to Mokroš.

The Devil's Castle was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, at the beginning of the colonization of the Drahan Highlands. It was probably destroyed during the conquest of the nearby Vícov castle in 1389. In 1512 it is already mentioned as deserted. It is associated with the Lešanský family from Lešan and subsequently with the family from Boskovice or the family from Otaslavice. The remains of a rampart, a ditch and the foundations of a round tower are visible on the site.

Near the Chlum elevation near the village of Seloutky, there is a stone that is considered to be a menhir of the Ligurian tribe. This is also confirmed by the findings of blood vessels made here. Menhir (from Breton men - stone and hir - long) is a stone block, a rock, vertically embedded in the ground, in the place of the energy source, from which it spontaneously receives energy. These are stones built by human hands in the Neolithic period (from the late Neolithic to the second half of the 1st millennium BC). At the time the menhir was built, there were only natural sources of cosmic energy on Earth - underground springs, streams, rivers, large streams, sea currents, storm clouds and others. The motivation for building menhirs, dolmens, barrows and other similar structures was usually explained by astronomical, calendrical, agricultural and ritual reasons. They are usually found without traces of processing, rarely a human figure, clothing or weapons are indicated. In several cases, the remains of medieval vessels testifying to their worship were found under them, in other cases also wedge stones from other rocks, some of which were also worked.
