The Church of St. Peter and Paul can be found on the church square. The church was probably built at the time the town was founded back in the 13th century. It was first mentioned in a deed of the Archbishop of Prague, Jan III, in 1258, in which he granted the right of submission to the town church to the monastery abbot, Martin I. The original building burnt down in 1452. The church was rebuilt four years later, in 1456. The dominant feature of the church - the high prismatic tower - was added in 1477. The church was rebuilt in its present form in 1682 by Broumov abbot Thomas Sartorius. The church was ravaged by further fires in 1757 and 1891. The original cemetery around the church was closed in 1780.
The three-nave church with its high prismatic tower stands on the western side of the former walls. It measures 26 x 44 m; the square tower is four storeys high. It is topped by a Baroque octagonal spire and roof lantern and a small onion dome. The presbytery is elongated, rectangular and contains the Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua. There is a hexagonal sacristy in the axis of the presbytery. The main altar is illusory, dates from 1765and is the work of J. Hager; in front of the painted part of the altar there is a massive tabernacle with a 14th-century statue of the Madonna. Set in the wall opposite the main entrance there are tombstones from the 16th and 17th centuries, the remains of a cemetery that was closed in 1780.
