The church of St Martin is probably of Romanesque origin, but the exact date of its construction is unknown. It was used for a time by the Evangelicals in the 17th and 18th centuries. The building, which has been rebuilt several times and still preserves medieval details, was fortified with retaining walls. The altarpiece depicting the glorification of Saint Martin was painted by the Austrian painter Josef Rath in the mid-19th century. The painting is flanked on either side by statues of St Stephen and St Lazarus.

The Evangelicals built their prayer house in 1792. The present church was "created" by several alterations and extensions to the old building (1831, 1869, 1909).
