The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Ulrich and belongs to the Koper Diocese.[5] It is a Baroque-style church dating to 1647 with an octagonal chancel walled on three sides, a wide rectangular nave, and a belfry. The interior of the name and the presbytery are ornamented with frescoes dating to 1713. Additional remodeling took place in 1747.[6] The church is surrounded by a cemetery.
