Listed buildings/structures There are nearly fifty listed buildings/structures in Cardross, two of which are category A. Some structures of note: The 14th century St. Mahew's Chapel.

The former St. Peter's Seminary, designed by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, is situated to the north of the village; it is closed to the public. Abandoned in the late 1980s, it is in a state of dilapidation, particularly internally. In early 2015 the site was handed over to the NVA with the intention that part of it will become an arts venue, however those plans failed due to a lack of funding. The ruined 15th-century Kilmahew Castle that was built by the Napier Clan is situated just north of the village. The main road through the village goes over Moore's Bridge (1688) which carries the road over Kilmahew Burn. Notable residents A. J. Cronin, the celebrated doctor and writer, was born in Cardross in 1896. The BBC sports presenter Hazel Irvine lived in Cardross during her youth.
