The parish church of St. Martin was first mentioned in 1243; its tower dates from the 11th or 12th century. The Gothic building was remodelled in the late Baroque style from 1769 to 1797, and its self-supporting roof structure dates from 1557. The former charnel house of St. Anna stands on its south side.
