About

The historic church in the center of the village, at the beginning of the Church Street, was built at the end of the XIV century, in place of its gothic predecessor.

The church was surrounded by an oval fortress wall, reinforced by 6 protective towers, the entrance being under the medieval tower, built separately from the church.
Today we can find only the gate tower and the ruins of the fortress wall, built in the 17th century.

The new church was built on a north-south axis, with the following inscription on the façade: "It was built in the years 1888-1889, on the site of the church built in the 12th century and modified in the 16th century." The Gothic church is decorated with medieval murals, important in the history of art.
