The dominant feature of Cestice is the Church of St. John the Baptist. The originally Romanesque church was extended in the second half of the 13th century and the Gothic presbytery was added. The last reconstruction was in the 19th century. The Stations of the Cross can be found around the church. They were originally wooden chapels (1626) and later they were replaced with new chapels built of brick and the Classicist chapel was built.

The Baroque chateau stands in the village. It originates from the second half of the 17th century and it was reconstructed at the end of the 18th century and in the first half of the 19th century.
