All buildings in old town center are cultural monuments by czech law. It has the same medieval look as it has before 500 years. Besides the castle, there are other significant buildings in the town, such as ST. Wenceslas church, ST. Anna's chapel, plague pillar or town hall. The city is surrounded by massive Gothic rampart, which gave it very unique look. Tourists very often visited Loket as they are staying in the spas.
