The settlement was established in 1027 and converted to Christianity, as documented in manuscripts from the Holy Cross monastery. This early founding makes it one of the region's oldest inhabited places.
The Church of St. Adalbert shapes the village center and displays the architectural style of the early 20th century. It serves as a minor basilica and remains the spiritual heart of the community.
