Evangelical Church /Lutheran church/, built by constructor Mayer in 1786 in a closed yard without a belfry, bells, and direct access from the street, according to the regulation of that time. It is one of the most beautiful hall churches built according to those regulations. The altar (woodcarver Jozef Gode), pulpit, and font with noteworthy spiral-cut marble column are made in the Luisian style. Organ from 1785 was made by master Ján Gertner and is one of the most precious works of its kind in the Gemer region. The church is one of the most important Clasicist buildings in Slovakia and its construction is linked to the visit of the Emperor Jozef II in Rožňava in 1783.
