The most important building in Dobrichovice is Chateau of Dobrichovice - it was serving as summer residence of the grand master of Knights of the Cross with the Red Star in the past.
The first mention of the fortress that protected the ford across the river Berounka is from 1420.
Dobrichovice were then donated by King Wenceslas I to Knights of the Cross with the Red Star.
Since 1505 occurs a florescence of chateau Dobrichovice. The great merit of this is the Grand Master Hynek Berka.
Chateau suffered during the Thirty Years War - in 1639 was burned by the Swedes. In 1679 the Grand Master Jirí Ignác Pospíchal had the castle repaired and added a Church of St. Judas Thaddaeus.
In 1779 chateau burned down again, but the castle was rebuilt. The chateau was converted into a late Baroque style. At that time, was also built the castle tower. Knights of the Red Cross held the chateau until 1948.
Chateau is a three-winged building with its prismatic towers. The main wing and east wing are two story. At present, the chateau came into the possession of Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, which it gradually reconstructed.
Both picture were taken from the place located just about 50 meters southeast from the castle.

Nejvýznamnejší stavební památkou v Dobrichovicích je zámek. Zámek sloužil v minulosti jako letní sídlo velmistra rádu križovníku (Rytírský rád križovníku s cervenou hvezdou).
První zmínka o tvrzi, která chránila brod pres reku Berounku, je z roku 1420. Dobrichovice byly darovány králem Václavem I. Rytírskému rádu krížovníku s cervenou hvezdou. Od roku 1505 dochází velkému rozkvet zámku.
Velkou merou se o to zasloužil velmistr rádu Hynek Berka.
Zámek dosti utrpel za tricetileté války - v roce 1639 byl vypálen Švédy. V roce 1679 nechal velmistr Jirí Ignác Pospíchal zámek opravit a nechal pristavet kostel sv. Judy Tadeáše. V roce 1779 zámek vyhorel znovu. Zámek pak byl opet opraven a prestaven v pozdne barokním slohu.
Rytíri cerveného kríže drželi zámek až do roku 1948, pak se na zámku vystrídalo nekolik státních institucí. Zámek tvorí trojkrídlá budova zakoncená hranolovitou veží. V soucasné dobe je zámek opet v majetku Rytírského rádu krížovníku s cervenou hvezdou a je postupne rekonstruován.
