The church is built on top of the ruins of an extensive prehistoric fortification. The altar furnishings in the church mainly date from the 19th century, but include a 17th-century chalice. The first structure at the site was a chapel built in the rural Gothic style, and the church was first mentioned in written sources in 1663. The church has three Baroque altars. The main altar is dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, and a painting of the saint by an unknown artist, dating from the mid-17th century, hangs on the right side of the nave. The north side altar is dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Apollonia. A painting of Mary Immaculate by Štefan Šubic hangs on the north side. The south side altar is dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian. A column shrine stands in the center of the village. It has an octagonal base surmounted by a cube with rectangular niches on all four sides. It is topped by a shingled square hip roof. The shrine dates from the 19th century.
