The Church of St. John of Nepomuk is a baroque building built in the middle of the 14th century. It was occupied by the Knights Hospitallers until the beginning of the Hussite wars in 1421. Between 1590 and 1623, the church served the burgeoning German Lutheran community, but after the Thirty Years' War, it returned to the Catholics. In 1727, a reconstruction finally gave the church its present appearance.
The church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was founded in the 10th century as a wooden church. The current building dates back to reconstruction in 1701-1702 and 1761.
