The local parish church, built on Holy Mount (Slovene: Sveta gora), a peak north of the settlement, is dedicated to the Nativity of Mary (Slovene: Marijino Rojstvo) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It is a Gothic building with 18th-century modifications.[5] Several of the paintings in the church are the work of Josip Egartner.[6]
