The early Gothic church (now the parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) was mentioned in 1335 as "ecclesia de Marticz". At the end of the 15th century, a tower was added and the end of the chancel was rebuilt. In the 18th century, Protestants added a sacristy and an annex, giving it a baroque character.
It is a single-nave structure made of broken stone with a rectangular nave (12.35 x 8.95 m) covered with a ceiling and covered with a gable roof covered with tiles. Narrower (5.8 m), buttressed, pentagonal closed, vaulted chancel, also covered with a single ridge roof. On the axis, a tower built in the late Middle Ages on a square plan, with the top transforming into an octagon, topped with a baroque cupola with two openings. In the porch, there is a pointed portal from the second half of the 13th century made of sandstone blocks.
The walls of the nave and partly of the chancel have survived from the Gothic church. In the southern wall of the nave there is a sandstone ogival portal (it allows to date the original church to the end of the 13th century) with a pair of columns with flattened bases on a high octagonal plinth with profiled faults. Two balconies on both sides of the altar have been restored and made available in the church, and work is underway to reconstruct the second choir, which was closed after the Second World War. There are also clocks in the church tower. There is also a church cemetery from the 13th century next to the church.
