Church of the Holy Trinity
Built a decade or two after the St Procopius' Church, the larger Church of the Holy Trinity acquired a Gothic vault in the 14th century and a baroque façade four centuries later. The interior is a remarkably harmonious composition of baroque furnishings, Gothic vaulting and four original Romanesque columns. These columns, revealed only during postwar restoration, are the most precious treasure of the church, particularly the two with elaborate figurative designs. There are 18 figures carved in each column; those on the left-hand column personify vices, while those on the right are virtues.

St Procopius’ Church
Built of red stone in around 1150, St Procopius’ Church has preserved its austere Romanesque form remarkably well, even though its upper part was rebuilt in brick after damage in the 18th century. The interior, almost free of decoration, looks admirably authentic. By the entrance is the original 12th-century font.
