A combination of two buildings from different eras: a brick medieval gate with an added Baroque chapel above (!) the road. Unfortunately, due to moisture and lack of security, the chapel above the road is inaccessible. Note the unusual Pietà on the road (Mary with raised arms, not embracing the body).

Stunning town hall, plenty of benches around the square to admire it from. You can also find food and a bike repair stand nearby.

Interesting place. Nearby there is a nice, well-kept park and the entrance to the old town through a historical gate.

Parish church built 1280-1320. A chandelier in the shape of a deer's head hangs in the nave. This is suspended from a hemp rope and reacts to the humidity. If he turns to the altar, he announces good weather. If your head turns towards the front door, rain is to be expected.
