I am always fascinated by the different architectural styles of churches.

The monument is located right next to the church.

The church, which stands outside the historic center, is estimated to have been built in the 13th century. The original frescoes on the northern interior wall of the church also support this age. The wall paintings and the preserved support beams only extend to the middle of the nave and convey an impression of the church's original size.

Right on the river. Quickly moor your SUP, pick it up, pay, and enjoy paddling on :)

Now in July 2023 it is still standing and is newly integrated into the road network even after the dismantling of the remaining bypass, in my opinion the bridge will remain as an agricultural and cycle path bridge.
