The local church is dedicated to Saint Oswald (Slovene: sveti Ožbolt) and belongs to the Parish of Velenje Saint Martin. Parts of the original Romanesque building are preserved in the northern wall of the nave. The sanctuary is Gothic and the remainder of the church dates to a major rebuilding in the late 18th century.[3]
