The church was built on the site of seven springs with allegedly healing effects and became a pilgrimage site. The springs now rise in the chapel, which was built in 1732. The church was rebuilt into its current form in 1830–1831. In the upper part of the municipality are Stations of the Cross with seven chapels.[3]
