The present Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been rebuilt and restored multiple times after being ravaged by various calamities, including plundering by the Russian army and a devastating fire in 1798. The current brick structure, erected in 1865, features three towers that dominate the landscape: two side towers with pyramid roofs and a larger central tower, whose bells call the faithful to worship. The architecture is eclectic, combining elements of Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Gothic styles, giving the church a unique aesthetic appeal.

This site preserves invaluable art pieces and
religious relics, including three commemorative crosses adorned with lilies atop the towers and the church's interior decorations. Inside the church, visitors can admire three masterpieces of easel painting from the 18th and 19th centuries – "Mary of the Rosary," "The Holy Trinity," and "St. Isidore" – as well as a collection of twelve sculptures, primarily in the local Baroque style, depicting various saints.
Of particular value is the 1579 sculptural composition "The Baptism of Jesus," which depicts both hell and the baptism of God's son, reflecting deep religious and historical significance.
