13th century

The St. Michael's Roman Catholic church was built in the 13th century. It was used by the Lutherans in the 17th century, and by the Catholic congregation starting from 1673. The Gothic style was replaced by the Baroque in the 18th century. Its tower is above the entrance. Between 2011 and 2013, the altar, pulpit, statues and roof were renovated. In 2019 the doors and windows, the exterior, the interior, the electric network and the bell structure were renewed, and the tower was covered with copper. Since 2012, chimes mark the passing of time. In 2019, the medieval choir driveway, walled up in 1860, was reopened.
