Svatý Mikuláš is known for the Kačina Castle. It is an Empire style building from 1806–1824 with three parts, a main building and two wings. Today it is used by National Museum of Agriculture, which opened here the Czech Countryside Museum. In the left wing there is a never-finished castle chapel and a castle theatre completed in the middle of the 19th century. In the right wing is the Chotek Library with more than 40,000 volumes of educational and beautiful literature from the 16th–19th centuries.[2]
