The asymmetric and inhomogeneous building of the Church of St. Philip and Jacob attracts visitors with its unusually wide walls which are in some places as wide as 2.4m. Also the ground plan of the building is unusual. The presbytery is rather small and almost square, its ceiling is cross vaulted without ribs. The oblong nave is slightly wider but relatively short with it length axis running from north to south and therefore situated towards the presbytery with its longer side.
The church has been recorded since the 14th century. The originally Gothic style building was burnt down in 1645 and a new nave was added in 1666. The church was damaged by fire again in 1813 and repaired in 1899.
The local countryside was occupied by the Czech Brethren from the Hussite wars up until 1620. After the White Mountain battle, all Czech Brethren priests were banned from the parsonages in 1924. The Emperor’s Patent from 1627 ordered that all citizens of another confession than Catholics have to move out. Those who did not want to move out, faked to receive the Catholic faith, however the old faith remained in their heart, in which they also brought up secretly their children. Czech Brethren, wearing their hoods would gather to prayers at the gorges under the Kavčí hill. The Helvetic and Augsburg confession was permitted by the Tolerance patent (Emperor Joseph II). Many secret Czech Brethren enspoused the Helvetic confession since it was closest to the Czech Brethren faith.
