Short description: St. Cross Honouring Roman Catholic Church of Malta (Rozentova) is a national architectural monument. The church has a prominent picture „St. Mary Magdalene beside the Cross of Jesus” and three big altars made of wood. The wooden log building was constructed in 1780. It was sanctified in 1782. The church was very small and in 1842 it was rebuilt. Inside the church one can see small altars which are rather ancient and rare in Latgale. In the garden there is the church bell tower with three bells. On the other side of the garden there is an ancient cemetery with not finished monument to WWI German soldiers.
