Jezernice is known for a pair of adjacent railway viaducts, protected as a cultural monument. The southern brick viaduct was built for Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway in 1842 and the northern stone viaduct was added in 1873 to make the track double-track. They are 426 metres (1,398 ft) and 415 m (1,362 ft) long and are made up of 42 arches.[3]

The Church of Saint Martin dates from the 15th century.[2]
