The area used to be known for its Kaolin mine which operated between 1856 and 1990. Črna was also the location for a mass execution of fifty local hostages on 8 July 1942 by Nazi soldiers as retribution for a Partisan attack on two of their numbers. A memorial to the victims of this event can be seen outside the abandoned mine.[2]
On a hill above the village is a pilgrimage centre with two churches. The main church is dedicated to Saints Primus and Felicianus and has a Romanesque design, though it was rebuilt in the 15th century and various additions were built at later stages. It has a double nave, unusual for this area, and frescos on the interior. The frescoes are particularly interesting as the scenes are set in real landscapes and much detail is given to clothes and expressions. A smaller, single nave, Gothic church, dedicated to Saint Peter, lies further up the hill. It contains a wooden painted ceiling dated to 1475 in the nave, though it is in a very poor condition, and three 17th-century golden altars, dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Lucy and Saint Laurence.[3]
