The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was originally a Romanesque church, probably from the first half of the 12th century. It was rebuilt several times, but its Romanesque tower has been preserved. Next to the church is a rectory built in 1829–1834.[5]
The second landmark is the Neustupov Castle. It was built in the 17th century, on the site of an old fortress from the 12th or 13th century. It was rebuilt and extended many times and today it has the neo-Gothic form. It is privately owned and inaccessible to the public.[5][6]
