The Church of St. Lawrence was built at the beginning of the 18th century on the site of an older temple, which turned out to be too small for the parishioners attending it. The object is distinguished by a log structure, and the interior by a barrel vault in the presbytery and a flat one in the nave. The vault has coffered decoration with polychrome depicting scenes from the life of St. Lawrence. The interior furnishings are mostly Baroque and come from the first half of the 18th century. The 18th-century polychrome of the presbytery is preserved in the church. The main altar is decorated with sculptures of St. John the Evangelist, St. James, and angels. In one of the side altars, there is a painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa. The baptismal font has a carved scene of baptism in the Jordan, and the whole is dominated by a crucifix from the early 15th century. The church organs, funded by Count Gottfried Ludwig von Schimonsky, date from the time of the building's construction. Practical information: The church is normally not open to visitors on a daily basis. Sightseeing by arrangement with the village headman. Parking spaces on Kuczki Street.
