Church
The Roman Catholic church of Saint Lukas the evangelist, with retarding late-classicistic and romantic elements was built in 1872. In 1911 it still was not consecrated. The chronostikon on the tower says that the building was restored in 1983. It is a one-ship building with narrow closure of presbyterium, tower build in the shield frontispiece and built out sacristy. In the 1960s the ceilings and vaults were completed with painted murals. Above the entry to the ship there is an organ chorus held by two cast-iron pillars and a forged rail. On the main altar from 1873 there is a painting of Saint Lukas from 1873, and on the sides there are statues of Jesus's and Mary's heart. The side altar of the Lurd Panna Maria and the pulpit with baldachin and window sill with relief decoration all date from when the church was built. In 1875 Pavol Szabo gave the church the font of red marble. There is also a red wooden relief of Pieta, and a wooden cross with corpus here. The parish acquired the first organ in 1873 with donations from parishoners, while the current organ dating from 1896 came from the donations of people from Dulovce living in America.
