Religion

edit

Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint George was built in the village in the mid 19th century.[6] Most probably it was constructed on the site of earlier wooden church.[6] The building was damaged during the World War II and its reconstruction was completed in 1968.[6] As of 2008 a new reconstruction of deteriorated building, funded by the Ministry of Culture, was not completed.[6]
