The local church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and belongs to the Parish of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev.[5] In 973 the church belonged to the Diocese of Freising.[4] The current building dates from the beginning of the 16th century[6] and obtained its current appearance during a Baroque remodeling in the 18th century and is surrounded by a small cemetery.[4] It has an entryway through a belfry with four double-lancet windows, a rectangular nave, and a low, narrow chancel. The interior is richly decorated and contains a stone floor and a crypt.[6]
