The village has a high school (314 pupils and 31 teacher), a culture center with 550 seats, two libraries with 23.4 thousand books, ambulant clinic with three paramedics, kindergarten with 140 children, seven stores, one eating house, sewing classroom, post office, PBX with 50 numbers and a savings bank.
