Church of St. Neže
Although the church of St. Neže has Romanesque origins, the church got its present exterior around 1879. Above the sacristy, there is a bell tower with one of the oldest bells in Gorenjska dating from 1423. On the outer facade of the church, there is a fragment of a late Gothic fresco depicting the patron saint of pilgrims, St. Christopher, and a Romanesque semicircular window.

St. Peter's Church is the fourth sacred building to stand here. The present church was built between 1750 and 1755 in Renaissance style. The church was then renovated several times, the last time from 2003 to 2005.
