The local church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and is Romanesque in its origins based on archaeological evidence of an apse found when the floor of the current church was being renovated. At the end of the 14th century a Gothic church was built on the site; a painted east facade, dated to c. 1400, survives. The church was expanded in 1852. Inside, 16th-century frescos by Jernej of Loka survive in the sanctuary.
