The baroque chateau Karlov, classified as a national protected monument, can also be found nearby the village of Smetanova Lhota. It was built as a hunting lodge by the count Bohumil Bissingen in the 18th century. Afterwards, it became the property of the noble family of Wratislav of Mitrowitz and was then owned by the Schwarzenberg family from the Orlík chateau between 1842 and 1948.


Barokní zámek Karlov je památkove chráneným objektem. Pochází z 18.století, kdy ho nechal vybudovat hrabe Bohumil Bissingen, a to jako lovecký zámek. Pak prešel do majetku Vratislavu a od roku 1842 do 1948 patril orlickým Schwanzerberkum. Mezi další památkove chránené objekty patrí srubový špýchárek a 2 výklenkové kaplicky poblíž Smetanovy Lhoty. Za pozornost stojí také kamenný most pres reku Skalici.
