There are two churches in the settlement. The Roman Catholic parish church is dedicated to Saint Sebastian and was built in 1824. It has a single nave with a polygonal apse and a belfry on its eastern side. It belongs to the Diocese of Murska Sobota.[5] The second church is a Lutheran church built north of the main settlement in the hamlet of Gorenšček.
