  • Two three-walled brick shrines, both dating to the 19th century, in the village by the crossroads of the Częstochowa and Ostrów roads. The shrines contain folk sculptures of St John of Nepomuk and St Florian. The local legend – and the municipality coat of arms – connects the shrines to a duel of two brothers fighting either over property or a girl. The brothers’ names were John and Florian, and thus the respective saints in their shrines.
