The village was established in the 16th century by Serbs that had joined the Uskok bands when fleeing Ottoman persecution (see Serbs of White Carniola). Descendants of these settlers still live in the village. The local church is thus a Serbian Orthodox Church dedicated to the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. It was built in the 19th century.[3]
