Sights

The main landmark is the Church of the Saints Peter and Paul. The original was built in the 11th or 12th century. In the 13th century, when this sacral building was no longer sufficient for its spatial capacity, a new, early Gothic church was built, in which the former church was incorporated as a sacristy. In the 1890s, the church was extended and rebuilt in the Neo-Romanesque style.[2]
