The Church of All Saints stands on a slight hill in the middle of the cemetery above the village and dominates the surrounding landscape. Since the 14th century there was a wooden parish church in Heřmánkovice, after the Thirty Years' War it became a branch church and was administered by a parish priest from Šonovo. The foundation stone of the new church was laid on 8 November 1722 and Abbot Otmar Zinke chose Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer as the author of the plan.
The rough construction was completed and consecrated in 1723, and for the next three years work was still being done to complete the interior. The church has a plan of an elongated octagon with concave curved walls. The chancel is followed by a square tower with rounded corners, and at the end of the nave is a narrow chancel, behind which is a rectangular sacristy. The ceiling of the church is painted with a view of the heavens, and in the semi-circular fields are painted images of the four evangelists and angels in elliptical wreaths. The original painting was done soon after the church was built, but was repainted in 1865. The interior furnishings date from the Baroque and Empire periods, but the more valuable furnishings had to be moved out and safely stored due to the increase in thefts in Broumov churches after 1990. The original Baroque rectory has also been preserved in the immediate vicinity of the church in Heřmánkovice. The circumstances and exact dating of its construction are not known, but the form and quality of its design complement the adjacent Dientzenhofer church.
