Monuments
The branch church of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus was built of stone with the addition of brick and bog iron, probably in the 14th century. At the end of the 19th century, the church was rebuilt. At that time, the window openings were modified and a square brick tower with a clock and gables were erected. The rectangular body is covered with a gable roof. Window panes with an outline resembling window openings decorate the eastern brick gable wall. In the interior, covered with a ceiling, a gallery supported by two wooden pillars has been preserved, and of the original furnishings, a stone Renaissance baptismal font from 1611 has survived. On the external southern façade, there is a tombstone from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries.[3]
