Auf einem ruhigen Waldhügel (823 m) liegt das dem Heiligen Cyrill geweihte Kirchlein. Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wurde es im Jahr 1238 und 1654 wurde das romanische Langhaus mit einem Chorraum verlängert. Das Langhaus weist eine bemalte Holzdecke auf, einen Triumphbogen sowie Rundbogenfenster und ein Kreuzgratgewölbe. Beachtenswert sind die Fresken an der Außenfassade und im Innenraum.
