The most important monument of the city is definitely the former monastery complex of the Oblates from the first half of the 18th century. In addition, worth noting are the remains of the residence of the Duchess, such as the 1860 conservatory, walls with the sphinxes surrounding the palace premises, as well as the 1866 Orthodox church and the neo-Baroque Talmudic school and synagogue.
