Why you should visit it
In the Church you can still sense the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. The church hall has a shrine and a wooden stock in the armory (hallway). The walls and vaulting are decorated with paintings made in the 15th century. There are also some symbols of pagan origin (which were later interpreted according to the Christian tradition).
