The main landmark of Kamenný Most is a small late Baroque chapel. It was built in the second half of the 18th century.[7]
West of the village on a hill stands a 1 metre (3.3 ft) tall sandstone engraving of a Latin cross. Some consider it a menhir,[8] but it is probably just a medieval border stone.[9]
