Cultural heritage
Waldhof Manor
Waldhof Manor, also known as Boltija Manor (Slovene: gradič Boltija), stands in the southwestern part of the village. It is a two-story structure with a rectangular layout that was originally the residence of a manor farm for Ponoviče Castle. The building was reworked into a manor house in the 17th century. The projecting corner bay on a stone console with a Renaissance window is probably an older feature from the beginning of the 16th century.
