Within the village was built the St. Catherine Church, originally belonging to Catholic, and later to Protestant denominations. Its oldest records date to 1424. A small structure was built from bricks and stone in the Gothic style. The building was destroyed and rebuilt twice in the 17th century and was heavily damaged during the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, being used as a lazaretto since then. In 1918, it was again adopted to serve as a church, which it did until the end of the Second World War.<ref name=luczak/><ref name=es/><ref name=church>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
