A pillar of shame or pranier has stood in the village since it was still a town with market privileges, which was confirmed by a document of Emperor Ferdinand III. Habsburg in 1639. A special testimony of the judicial autonomy of the town is in the middle of the village a 16th century pranier, to which the perpetrators were tied, most often for theft, insult to the nobility, drunkenness, disturbance of the night peace or rioting. Gossiping women and women suspected of enchantment were also tied to the column.
