The Church of St. Jerome was rebuilt in 1749 by famous artist Ivan Ranger following the demolition of the original 15th century-built chapel by an earthquake in 1738.

The Banfi Castle in Banfi was built by Count Banffy in 1373 and Tkalec Castle on Kalec hill is believed to be built by local Paulines in the 18th century.
