Churches

The Church of All Saints was originally a Romanesque church dating from before 1260 and was later rebuilt in the Gothic style. It is in good condition and continues to serve its religious purpose.

The Church of All Saints contains a fragment of a wall-painting cycle depicting the legend of Saint Ladislaus from the second half of the 14th century. Figures of the Apostles and Christ are also depicted on the northern side of the presbytery. The church also has a complete vertical sundial in a square shape with truncated corners.

The Chapel of Saints Cosmas and Damian is an originally Romanesque rotunda made of rubble stone from the second half of the 13th century, which was given a Baroque makeover between 1740 and 1757. The Rotunda Chapel of Saints Cosmas and Damian is in good condition, continues to serve its purpose, and stands on a hill at the northeastern edge of Bijacovce, at the end of the village.
