The first church collapsed due to the weakness of the foundations and was replaced in 1636 by a new church which also collapsed in 1780, to be rebuilt in 1782. It is surrounded by a defensive wall and has a bell tower on the west side. The baroque altar dates from 1641, the pulpit from 1764, and the organ from 1805. The tablets on the balustrade of the gallery were painted with saints and the coat of arms of the village of Ruși, in 1783, by the painter Daniel Knobloch . The last repair work was carried out in 1990.
👉Like the famous Pisa tower, the clock tower is reallyj leaning tired and heavy towards the ground. The tower was built in 1748, rebuilt in 1782, and began to tilt around the middle of the 19th century due to landslides. It was last consolidated in 1968, and now it has reached an inclination of about 1.45 m (18 degrees).
