It is also the administrative centre of the municipality. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region.[2]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Giles (Slovene: Sveti Egidij) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was built in 1815 on the site of an older church.[3] A second church in the northern part of the settlement is dedicated to Saint Florian. It dates to the mid 17th century.[4]
A 13th-century castle with 15th-, 17th-, and 18th-century additions, built on a hill to the south of the parish church was burned down by the Yugoslav partisans after the capitulation of Italy in 1943[5] and further demolished after the Second World War.[6]
