The parish church of St. James the Elder was built in 1781 in the Baroque-Classicist style. It is the third church in Lower Bohemia with this patronage. The first (original) church was probably destroyed by the troops of Matúš Čák Trenčianský at the beginning of the 14th century. The second church, mentioned in 1559, was Gothic and has a broken arch at the entrance to the sacristy.

Baroque-Classicist church built in 1781 on the site of an older building, mentioned in 1559. The church is a single-nave building with an oval presbytery, the interior is vaulted with Prussian vaults with intermediate bands, resting on the wall pillars. A tower with a bell-shaped helmet is built into the western gable facade. [1] The main altar is inserted between the pilasters of the semicircular enclosure of the presbytery, vaulted with a conch. Above the altar is a picture of St. James from the end of the 18th century. Two side altars with classicist pilaster architecture and a volute gable, of the same design, have modern statues of Christ and the Virgin Mary in the middle niche. The pulpit is a Rococo relief of The Last Supper in a rocaille cartouche from the middle of the 18th century, probably the work of Ľ. Godeh or his workshops. The stone baptistery and wooden benches are Classicist from the late 18th century.
