The Roman Catholic Church of St. Andrew the Apostle is a single-nave Romanesque structure with a horseshoe-shaped apse and an integrated tower, dating back to approximately the mid-13th century. It underwent Gothic modifications at the end of the 15th century, from which a Gothic pastophorium (tabernacle) has been preserved. In the 18th century, the church was renovated in the Baroque style, during which the tower and a sacristy were added. A second sacristy was added on the opposite side of the apse in the 19th century. The interior features a Romanesque stone baptismal font, a Gothic pastophorium with its original grille, and an epitaph of the estate owner Šárkány from 1565 located in the base of the tower. Among the architectural details, a tympanum with a cross motif and palmette ornament from the original Romanesque portal has survived. The church facades are divided by semi-circular windows with framed surrounds, featuring keystones in the nave. The tower with rounded corners is articulated by pilaster strips and topped with a crowning cornice with a clock disc and a bell-shaped helm with a lantern.
