Sights[edit]
The most valuable building is a watermill from 1820. It was functional until 1952. Today the building is unused.[6]
The Church of Saint Lawrence is a cemetery church without historic value. The original wooden church was built in 1350–1354. At the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, it was replaced by a stone one. Around 1711, the church was probably struck by lightning and fell into disrepair. In 1854, it was completely rebuilt into its present form.[7]
