Mass grave

Veliki Kamen is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Šerbec Woods Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče v Šerbečevem gozdu), also known as the Marsh Mass Grave (Grobišče Čret), is located south of the settlement on the edge of a wooded area. About 20 Ustaša soldiers that were killed near the village were buried at the site by the local people in May 1945.[3]

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Parish of Koprivnica.[4]

gollark: Python is very simple and most people can sort of write it ish.
gollark: But if we allowed *any* language, you'd somewhat lock people out if they did not know *one* of them.
