On May 19, 1897, a meteorite struck a field near the village. Allegedly, an 18-year-old girl was near the impact site. It is spoken by a violent bang, similar to a detonation, which is said to have been heard 40 km away. The meteorite is an ordinary chondrite. The meteorite weighed 875 g and was recovered from about 20 cm depth. The meteorite was divided after the salvage in different sized parts and given to universities and museums.
