Mass grave

Mali Kamen is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Veliki Kamen Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Veliki Kamen), also known as the Marsh Mass Grave (Grobišče Čreta), is located on the eastern edge of the settlement, 400 m south of neighboring Veliki Kamen. The grave contains the remains of 20 to 30 Ustaša soldiers killed in mid-May 1945.

Chapel

There is a small square chapel with a belfry in the settlement. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was built in the 19th century.
