The presbytery with the bell tower
The main landmark of Sluhy is the Church of Saint Adalbert. It was originally a Romanesque building, which was rebuilt in the Gothic style in 1270. Its current appearance is from the 18th century, when late Baroque improvements were made.[6]
The Baroque prismatic bell tower is a building from the 16th century. It originally included three bells, but one was stolen. Next to the bell tower is located the former presbytery. It was built in 1780.[6]
