Name

Samotorica was first mentioned in written records in 1340 as Zamatůrnicz (and in 1489 as Samotoritz and Samatoritz). The name may be derived from the Slavic common noun *samotvorъ 'natural feature', referring to some striking landscape element, or perhaps from the hypothetical personal name *Samotvor.

Church

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Michael and belongs to the Parish of Horjul. It contains early 16th-century frescos and a painted wooden ceiling.
