Sights


The Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius is a cultural monument and the landmark of Březová. Initially, there was a small chapel first mentioned in 1662. In 1747, a little church replaced the chapel. The contemporary church was constructed in 1865.[3]

On 1576 a doctor Tomáš Jordán of Klausenburk mentioned Březová's spring in his medical book about healing water. The spring is considered to be healing and is generally known under the name of Kyselka. The area with the spring is a tourist destination.[3]

A 13 metres (43 ft)-high wooden observation tower is located in the western part of Březová. It was built together with five other identical towers in 2011.[4]
