Church of saint Jurij is one of the oldest in Kranjska, it was built round 1118. Church was several times changed and rebuilt, so it has lost primary appearance. In the chapels are tombstones from 16 and 17th century. Present newromanic appearance got it at renovation in the year 1863. Beginnings of Staroloski castle go back to the 15th century.
