The Church of the Assumption of Mary

Crkva uspenja
The Catholic Church of the Assumption of Mary, dating from the 18th century, is famous for Black Madonna. People believe that the first German settlers brought this wooden sculpture of Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus from Switzerland.

The church was painted by Rudolph Udvary, a local painter.

It houses an exceptional library with German books, a reminder of the times when the Germans lived in this area.
