Sights

Palackého Square with the town hall

The late Renaissance town hall was built in 1610 and reconstructed in 1674, after it was damaged by fire. Its tower is a landmark of the town square and today serves as a lookout tower for public.[3][7]

The Church of Saint Bartholomew was built in the Renaissance-Gothic style in 1559–1571. It is a valuable sacral area with a number of quality sculptures. The Baroque rectory dates from 1709.[3][8]

The sugar factory opened museums of sugar production, ethanol production and sugar beet processing in May 2010.[9]
