The remains of the Romanesque Ljubek Castle (or Lebek Castle), probably dating to the 11th century and first mentioned in written documents dating to 1220, can be found south of the settlement. The castle was destroyed in the peasant revolt of 1515 and was later rebuilt. Today, it is only a ruin.[4]
