History

During the Second World War, the Partisans burned the hamlet of Bezovnica on 10 March 1945.[2][4]

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saints Hermagoras and Fortunatus and was rebuilt in 1973. The original Baroque church was dynamited in the spring of 1944[2][4] or in March 1945[5] and the surviving bell tower burned down in 1972 after being struck by lightning.[6]
