Church of St. Nicholas - a Gothic three-nave basilica, erected in the years 1370 - 1417 on the site of an earlier parish church.
In the years 1884 - 1885 the towers were added and the porches of the church were reconstructed. Destroyed in 1945, rebuilt in the 1960s. It has one of the highest naves in Silesia (about 30 m).
From the old, rich interior decoration, bourgeois epitaphs from the Renaissance to the Baroque have been preserved. In the presbytery there is a Gothic triptych from 1500. During the reconstruction in the sacristy, Gothic polychromes dating back to 1418 - 1428 were discovered. Nicholas, the Medieval Polychromes Route (blue route) begins. In the windows of the presbytery and behind the organ and in the aisles there are modern stained glass windows.
