Juuka is peppered with historical buildings and protected heritage. Most of these landmarks are privately owned, however they are open for the public to admire.

Within the center of Juuka, the old municipality hall, club house, community college, preschool, old youth center (Now called the nursery of Puuhelmi) and the old pharmacy are some of the protected historic landmarks. These buildings are a a reminder of the historical transition to the modern era, showing the municipal development of Juuka before the war. The protected area within Juuka is mainly located within the Puu-Juuka (Old Juuka).

Some examples of Provincial protected historic landmarks are the estates of Nurkkala, Ritolahti, Harakkamäki and the great Pappila. Also, the "headquarters" of the soap-stone corporation of Nunnanlahti, the White House (Valkoinen talo) and the House of Troup (Trouppin talo) belong to the category of provincially protected historic landmarks.
