______________________________________________________________________
Skalnímu ostrohu nad vesnicí dominuje barokní kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie, který byl znovu postaven na míste
zaniklého gotického kostela (z roku 1728), patrne dle návrhu J. Santiniho. Vedou k nemu kamenné schody z roku 1864.

Kostel se hrbitovem, márnicí a farou tvoril jeden komplex.
Za husictví patrne zanikl, nový byl postaven až v roce 1728 hrabetem K.Strakou podle santiniho návrhu. Je to prostá
jednolodní stavba s oválnými liniemi. Barokní hlavní oltár z r.1740 zdobí dve dvojice andelu arodující milostné sošce Paní Marie.
Soška je barokní kopie gotické madony. Nevelký obraz Nanebevzetí Panny Marie v nástavci oltáre platí za
mimorádne dobré dílo ceské ci vlámské barokní malírské dílny. Po stranách oltáre jsou sochy sv.Barbory a Kateriny,
Rokoková kazatelna pochází z konce 18.století. V posledních letech byl kostel bohužel nekolikrát vykraden. Dnes je okolo kostela parková úprava.
Také fara je barokní, byla však postavena teprve roku 1787. Podél kostela vede stará silnice na nový hrbitov.
