A wooden Church of St. Basil is mentioned for the first time in documents from 1564-1565. There is no knowledge of a previous church in the area. According to the inscription above the southern door, the current church would have been built in 1733. During the twentieth century, the central dome has been demolished by a storm and restored in 1970.
