History
An ancient church, likely dating to the 5th/6th century, which was a parish church dependent on the Premonstratensian house of Cazis from 1359. From 1505, it no longer served as a parish church due to the construction of more convenient churches closer to the local centres of population. The church was restored in the 1980s, and today is used for cultural events.
