There are two churches near the settlement. Both belong to the Parish of Razbor. A church dedicated to Saint Cantius (Slovene: sveti Kancijan) lies northeast of the village. It dates to the mid-16th century with numerous 18th-century alterations. A church dedicated to Saint Josse (Slovene: sveti Jošt) is built on southern slopes just under the peak of Lisca Hill. It dates to the 17th century.[3]
