The Church of St. Catherine
This church was built in the 15th century and reconstructed in 1536 - 1561. On August 6, 1850 a catastrophic fire broke out nearby which, within two days, destroyed 278 buildings in the Catherine and Jánský District due to a combination of unfavourable circumstances. Repairs to the burned out church carried out between 1851 and 1857 unfortunately did not restore the beautiful pyramid roof.
