Habartov is poor in monuments, because most of the landmarks were destroyed due to coal mining. The only cultural monument is a pair of tombstones from the second half of the 19th century that belong to Johann Hochberger and Gustav Hochberger. They remind of the social position and work of the Hochbergers in the locality.<ref name=nhi/>
