The local church is dedicated to Saint Roch (Slovene: sveti Rok) and belongs to the Parish of Vinica. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1526, but owes its current Baroque look to a major remodelling in the 18th century. The main altar dates to the 17th century, but was renovated and remodelled in 1825 and again in 1889.[4]
