In the middle of the village by the main road there is a sculpture of Pieta on a massive baroque pedestal, under which there is still a stone podium. The work is not accompanied by any inscriptions. Around it, stone pillars from the original enclosure have been preserved. They were installed in the second half of the 18th century by the pastor Ignác Weis instead of a wooden enclosure.

It is probably a statue built by Ján Novák from the Smolenice estate, although it is mentioned in the literature in one place that it stood outside the town. For his statue of the Virgin Mary, Ján Novák laid down a base of 150 gold pieces, which were leased to Ján Bardiovský. Of the interest, 3 gold coins were to be used for oil in a lamp which they lit at the statue every Saturday and 6 gold coins were intended for the inhabitants of the poorhouse, obliged to pray at the statue every Saturday. In 1856, the base of the statue was divided and borrowed in smaller amounts.
