The church of Holy Virgin had in its original form a bell tower. In the 16th century a sacristy was added and in 1720 a chapel of St. Ana with an altar, built ten years later. A shed in front and a choir were built in 1850. The church of St. Cahterine has a well preserved flat ceiling in the aisle and a ribbed arch in the presbytery. The sacristy is an extension from 1867.
