In 1862 there was built a church on the hill. Tourist Society in 1931 added a tower, while serving as a lookout. Unfortunately building in 1965 was overtook the CSPA, the church was transferred as barracks for soldiers and the tower lookout served for air defense purposes as the air guard. After 1989, the soldiers left the building, and site then declined. In 1995 it was completely desolated and complete demolition was considered.
The lookout and enclosure walls of the church fortunately were completely managed to the salvage and reconstructed, and since September 2004 it is available again.
