Worth seeing
There are hardly any traces of the former Graun Castle on a hilltop southwest of today's village center. A little south of the village is the Gothic church of St. George, a protected cultural asset . Located in the actual place and also under monument protection is the parish sanctuary with the chapel of St. Simon and Juda. The core of the medieval building was rebuilt in the 17th century.
