Many Middle Age wall paintings are still seen in the church. Visitors can admire some other typical parts of the church such as christening well made of stone or wooden bell house which is situated by the church. The church was fortificated in the times of Turkish invasions. Both, the church and the bell house, were recently renovated.
The village is also known for its mineral well which has got a few healing properties.
