The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is one of the few souvenirs of the existing until the mid-twentieth century houses the Bridge. It is a late-Gothic hall building with a hip roof and a tower covered with a baroque helmet. Inside, there is currently an exhibition dedicated to Czech art from the Gothic and Renaissance periods.
The bridge was founded in the tenth century. Around 1970, a decision was made to demolish it due to the expansion of the open-cast brown coal mine.
