The town’s architectural center is the 16th-century Telč Chateau, featuring well-preserved sgraffito decoration and ornate interiors. Surrounding the historic core are the Ulický, Štěpnický, and Staroměstský ponds, which once served as part of the town's defensive system. Key landmarks include the 53-meter St. James' Tower and the Romanesque Holy Spirit Tower, the town's oldest standing structure.
