The local church, built southeast of the village, is dedicated to Saint George and belongs to the Parish of Črnomelj. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1526, but it has Romanesque features, indicating that it is likely to be an earlier structure.In an abandoned quarry below the church an ancient relief of the god Mithras sacrificing a bull, with the cult characteristic images of Cautes and Cautopates, Sol, a scorpion, a snake, a dog, and a raven, indicate this was the site of a late second-century Mithraeum.
