Near the bridge across Vavrinecký potok (St. Lawrence creek) stood in middle ages small fortress. One can still find its remnants nere hidden in abundant vegetation. That is why the bridge was builded here for a long time. The recent baroque shape of the bridge with five arches comes probably from second half of 17th century and in the begining of the 18th century was charted in military maps.
