The St. Anna Church located in the village was consecrated in the early 1930s and was a branch church of the Trinity Church in Hinterkotten . It was built according to an inscription at the church entrance "in trust in God ... by Walter Graf von Berchem and the inhabitants of the Promenhof community" in memory of those who fell in the wars. In front of the church there is now a symbolic cemetery for German soldiers who died in World War II.

Since the diocese was unable to renovate the church, St. Anne's Church was transferred to the Broumov parish in 2001. The general renovation of the church was completed in 2006, whereby the material costs and the costs for the work that could not be carried out by community workers and voluntary helpers amounted to around one million Czech crowns.
