There are two small chapel-shrines south of the main settlement. Both were built in the early 20th century.[3]
Seven relatively intact tumuli from the Roman period have been identified near the settlement. Such burials are fairly common in the area with an extensive burial ground near Trotkova south of Trstenik.[4]
