The Chapel of Male Gospe, several houses and the local primary school are considered cultural heritage of local significance in Detkovac. The chapel is a sacred cultural property. The gable-fronted house at No. 7 is considered an ethnological cultural property. Cultural heritage also includes the Zidanica building dating from 1940 at No. 31, the house dating from 1925 at No. 54, the longitudinal house dating from 1929 at No. 130 and the house dating from 1946 at No. 124.

Local cultural heritage in Detkovac includes the chapel, the local primary school and residential houses built in various styles. The dated houses span the period from 1925 to 1946.
