The local church, built on Big Plešivica Hill (Slovene: Velika Plešivica) west of the settlement, is dedicated to Mary Magdalene and belongs to the Parish of Adlešiči. It was probably built in the early 17th century and was restyled and extended in 1846. The main altar dates to the late 19th century.[3]
