The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Mother of God and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It predates its earliest mention in written documents in 1480. Next to the church is a chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross. It dates to the late 15th century, but was extensively rebuilt after a fire in 1714 that destroyed most of the village.
