Kostel sv. Prokopa: a cultural monument with several historical layers

The church was remodelled in the Baroque style in 1714, but retains a Romanesque tower with coupled windows. There is also a Baroque cemetery chapel behind the church. In this way, Romanesque architectural elements, the 1714 remodelling and Baroque ecclesiastical architecture come together in one place.
