This Roman Catholic archdeanery church was originally constructed around 1318, with roots extending back to the Romanesque period. Built in the Czech-Saxon late Gothic style, the structure underwent significant Neo-Gothic reconstruction during the 1880s. The most distinctive feature is the leaning tower, which became tilted by more than two meters as a result of bombing in 1945.
The interior houses a unique 20th-century altar with a glass foot and the largest bell in the district. The church is a designated Cultural Heritage Site and hosts an annual exhibition of Christmas nativity scenes.
