The local church, built northeast of the village, is dedicated to the Holy Cross and belongs to the Parish of Ribnica. It dates to the 17th century. A series of fourteen roadside chapel-shrines with the Stations of the Cross lead to the church along the road from the neighbouring village of Breže.[5]
