The local parish church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas (Slovene: sveti Miklavž) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1334, but owes its current Baroque look to a major remodelling in the second half of the 18th century. The main altar dates to 1782.[5]
