In the northern part of the village, there is a large building that used to be a monastery in the 16th and 17th centuries.[3] There is an Austro-Hungarian military cemetery from the First World War on a small hill next to Saint Lawrence's Church. The individual grave markers are no longer present, and only the central monument remains.[3][4]
