Sights

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus used to be a granary from 1824, which was rebuilt into a church in 1887–1890.[7]

The most valuable building is the Church of Saint Peter in the Slivice hamlet. It is originally an early Gothic church from the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. The late Gothic tower was added at the end of the 15th century. Baroque modifications of the church were made in 1696 and in the 18th century.[8]
