Church

The local church, built south of the village, is dedicated to Saint Urban and belongs to the Parish of Šentjernej. It is mentioned in written documents dating to 1439, but owes its current Baroque style to a major rebuilding in the 18th century. Fragments of the medieval wall paintings are still visible on the exterior northern wall of the nave.
