The Church of St. Ursula is one of the oldest buildings in today's Lusan city. Late Romanesque building elements can be found on the ground floor of the church tower . The choir and the adjoining apse indicated that it was built around 1200. Some alterations and extensions were made in 1767, 1933 and 1934. Besides two bells from 1919 and 1958, it has the oldest, the one cast in 1473 Church bell in the city area. At its core, St. Ursula is a well-preserved village church with an approximately square choir tower tapering towards the top and a semicircular apse with an apse dome .
