From 1995 the new rectory building is the village essential dominant. The new rectory was bulit in place of old rectory building originated from 1703. It was bulit by Ing. arch. Pavel Holous.
The new rectory shows the same ground plan as baroque chapel in Pannenske Brezany bulit by J. A. Santini and is also considered as reminiscence of the old baroque rectory. The new building motif and architectural details are based upon fundamentals of spiritualization of material substance. The new rectory was bulit by village people.
The church whose patron is saint Jeronym is situated near the rectory building. The baroque church was completed in 1714. The body of the church is 22 m long, 10 m wide, 15 m high. The baroque jewel in this church is without doubt the main altar.
The church steeple and roof burnt down on 14th September 1852. The baroque character of outdoor parts wasn´t retained due to saving money. The steeple was 10 m cut down, but interior wasn´t damaged. Esthetes, art lovers are surprised so many important baroque buildings are situated just in this small village. The church is one of the monuments which are protected by state.
Another protected object in Kretin is the statue of s. Jan Nepomucky situated next to the church.
