The Church of the Ascension of Jesus was built in the late 17th or early 18th century, after the huge fire that destroyed the town in 1689. The church received its present appearance after extensive restorations in the 19th century.

The Church of the Assumption of the Lord was built in the 1920s on a former Gothic church from the 14th century, whose choir can still be seen. The church was transformed into baroque style at the end of the 18th century, but a problem with the size of the church arose at the end of the 19th century and it was decided to rebuild the church in 1924. The architect Jože Plečnik drew up a plan for a new church and in 1925 the inhabitants of Bogojinci and other nearby villages started to build the building. The new building, completed a year later, has a unique tower, making the Church of the Assumption of the Lord one of the most recognisable churches in Slovenia.
