Originally a wooden church dating from the first half of the 13th century, it was later rebuilt in the Gothic style. Later additions are classified as Renaissance and Baroque style . The vault of the presbytery dates from 1560 and the 54-metre high tower, which dominates the town, from 1577. The last major reconstruction took place between 2000 and 2005. On the main altar you can see the Pribor Madonna. Around the church there are the remains of a cemetery surrounded by a wall with loopholes. There is also a Stations of the Cross dating back to 1887. The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes stands on the site of the old mortuary. Behind the presbytery you will find the statue of St. Zacharias, which used to decorate the original stone fountain in the square. Statues of saints - Jan Nepomucký, Cyril, Methodius and Jan Sarkander - look down from the high columns in front of the church. Nowadays, only religious services are held in the church.
