There is a small roadside chapel in the settlement. It was built in 1898.[3]

Mineralogy

Since the beginning of 20th century, a granodiorite quarry has been operating there, once used mostly for setts for roads and squares. The only known deposit of cizlakite (quartz monzogabbro, a green plutonic rock) in the world has been found near Cezlak.[4]
