A small 18th-century chapel-shrine at the crossroads in the centre of the settlement is dedicated to Saint Roch.
The Slovene writer, political activist, playwright, and critic Fran Levstik was born in the village in 1831. A commemorative plaque was unveiled in 1889 on what remains of the house in which he was born. In 1987 a bronze bust was also placed nearby.
