The village is surrounded by vineyards and was first mentioned in 1305. It seems that below the floor of the current church there was an earlier Roman-style basilica. In the 14th century a new, Gothic-style Lutheran church was built in place. It was modified in the 16th century and was also fortified. Three out of the four bastions resisted, as well as 6-7 meters high walls.
