The Roman Catholic Church of St. Anne was built between 1839 and 1856 in late classicist style. Its tower is eclectic, dating back 1881. The building is free-standing, rectangular, with a single nave. The main façade has a segmental-arched stone-framed entrance doorway, above which is a mullioned chancel window, also with a segmental-arched framed chancel window. The tower body is connected to the façade by triangular gable walls. Corner pilasters framed with lizenas have two levels of framed casement windows, with slab moulding below their sills. Above the cornice, a broken line of turrets. Side façades have segmental-arched, stone-framed windows, with a window in the west wall of the recessed, straight-ended sanctuary. The half-roofed, small-roofed portion of the vestry is approached from the east side of the sanctuary, but also has an exterior entrance door. The roof coverings have been replaced and the façade has been given a new, uniform, light colour scheme.
