Church of St. Martin was a part of great construction of Chateau Nové Dvory, which was held at the site of by war heavily damaged Renaissance chateau by count Bernard Vežník in 1680-1686. St. Martin, originally erected as a chateau' private chapel, is single nave brick plastered structure with polygonal presbytery and massive prismatic belfry situated in the north nave axe. The tower, covered by onion cupola with octagonal lantern, is connecting church's nave with chateau's Tuscany-type arcade gallery. The church, nowadays mostly used for educational, cultural and social events, was reconstructed by the town in 2004-2006.
