The St. Anna Chapel
The Renaissance style chapel was built around the first half of the 18th century. The chapel was founded by Johannes Theodor Cree, a clergyman who came from the Cree farm nearby. Inside there is a baroque statue of St. Anna. Two other surviving baroque figures show St. John Nepomuk and St. Luiza. Instead of the original baroque altar, there is now a neo-Gothic carved wood altar in the chapel. The chapel is covered in slate and has a bell from 1729.
