Church
Small village church from the 14th century. Early Gothic brick building possibly erected by a Cistercian building lodge.
According to the masonry bond, also known as the Wendish bond, the church was built around 1330. The east and west gables were designed in detail with shallow wall niches. In contrast to the east gable, the west gable was restored in 2003. The roof was restored several times in the 15th and 18th centuries. The ridge turret dates back to 1752 and the interior is notable for its low cross vault. A new altar and a new pulpit were purchased around 1800. A fresco from the time of construction was uncovered in 1973.
