The parish Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1780 and enlarged six years later. It was a single-nave rectangular building (9 x 17,65 m) with a tower built in the frontage with the four-sided pyramid roof. In the rear part there was a rectangular-ended presbytery of 6,4 x 6,3 m and two sacristies symmetrically attached thereto. Both the nave and the tower were covered with shingles. The church became seriously damaged in the 1960's and its demolition was therefore considered since March of 1964. The military unit of Prachatice eventually applied for demolition on 27th May 1964, which was thereafter ordered by the Prachatice District National Committee on 28th March 1965 with the implementation ordered by 30th June of the same year. Local chronicle mentions damages of the surrounding buildings due to the demolition, in particular of the building of the neighbouring school, where the windows broke and both the ceilings and the front broke. After the demolition the area of the former adjacent cemetery started to be adapted into a park. In place of the former church there is a nursery school, the building of which started in 1966.
