History
The local school was built in 1923 with donations from the villagers. The school had four classrooms and was named after Hristo Botev. The building of the church to be named 'Sn. Anna' (Света Ана) started in 1926 but was never completed, and after 1944 abandoned. The little monastery at the edge of the village was destroyed the same year.
