Sights
The Church of the Holy Prophet, dedicated to honour the holy Mother of God, was built in 1825. In 1942, during the World War II, the church was destroyed by Ustasha.[7] The church was not rebuilt after the war and, for a long time, it stood with bare walls, without roof and towers. The church does not exist anymore in the village and even its foundations are hard to notice as the location is abandoned and not adapted for visitors.[8]
