The main town square was formed at the beginning of the 16th century and today it is the core of the town. The Town Hall and the St. Catherine church, rich burgers palaces on the square sides and the plague column with of the Holy Trinity statuary form one of the city´s architectural highlights.
Beautiful centrum of the town. Especially when good weather, just to sit and relax. You can continue up the street and you will appear in the forest and in 15min by beautiful blue water lake Velka Vodarenska.
