- The cemetery was built at the same time as the church, around 1869 a stone wall and a mortuary were built.
- A wooden chapel from 1923, built as a memorial to the victims of the World War I.
- The house No. 30 is a valuable example of the original construction – so called 18th century East-Sudeten architecture, with a massive gabled roof.
- Fürstenwalde is an extinct castle on Castle Mountain (north of the village). It was destroyed probably in the second half of the 15th century or at the beginning of the 16th century. A small wooden observation tower was built here in 2012.
