Sights
The main landmark is the Church of the Saints Peter and Paul. The original church was built in the 11th or 12th century. Between 1260 and 1280, when this sacral building was no longer sufficient for its spatial capacity, the new church was built, in which the former church was incorporated as a sacristy. In 1900, the church was demolished and replaced by a new large church in the Neo-Romanesque style.[4][8]
Next to the church is a Baroque rectory from the 18th century.[9]
