History
The brick late Romanesque church near Mala Maca dates from the beginning of the 13th century. The sacristy with the tower was added in the 17th century and then the church was restored several times. Its location is interesting, because it is located outside the village. It is said that the village once stretched around the church. However, during the Turkish siege, the inhabitants moved a kilometer further to the marshy area covered by dense floodplain forests, which provided them with protection. The church is surrounded by a brick wall and its whole surroundings look unusual
