Koilwar Bridge

Koilwar Bridge is situated on the River Sone; its steel rail road bridge called as Abdul Bari Bridge made before independence, is shown in the film Gandhi. The Koelwar bridge across the Sone river was built by the British in 1862. A two lane road (NH 30) runs just under the rail tracks. Sand mining near the pillars of this old bridge has created structural problems recently.

A famous Shiv Temple is the moonlight of the village. On every 14 January and on the eve of Mahashivratri a fair takes place near the temple.
