Cultural heritage
editThe village is the birthplace of Stanko Vraz, after whom it was renamed (as well as to differentiate it from a number of other settlements in Slovenia named Cerovec). The house in which Vraz was born in 1810 is preserved, and a commemorative plaque was unveiled on it in 1951.[4]
