The church of St. Prokop (Kostel svatého Prokopa) [bottom right picture: right] goes back to a wooden church that had been built in the 13th century. When the lords of Rožmberk acquired the local estate in 1347, the church was rebuilt as a stone on, approximately in its present condition. Further modifications were made in 1712 and then after the fire of 1830. The upper floor of the tower was only completed in 1959.
