History
The oldest preserved building in the village is the Roman Catholic Church of the Visitation of the Virgin in late Renaissance-baroque style from the mid-17th century. The first written mention of the church is from 1695 in the canonical visitations of the Sintava parish, considering that Svätá Chrasť was its branch. The original building of the church has not been preserved, but it was certainly even older, perhaps from the 16th century. The church is a place of pilgrimage, a regular pilgrimage takes place on Whit Monday.
