The Catholic churches were dedicated to the Holy Virgin. The present church was built during the period 1954-1957. It was consecrated on May 26th 1957. Among its belongings are two old and melodious bells, an old harmonium, and a nice pulpit from 1957. The altarpiece depicts the Easter evening in Emmaus.
