The parish church of St. Michael is mentioned in 1709 as having been built on the hill of Gradina, surrounded by tombstones and covered with shingles. The furnishings were modest. It had a silver sheet cross, a silver chalice with a bronze, gilded base, four small silver crowns and a larger one with inlaid colored glass. The church was simple with a small apse. Later, a stone bell tower was built on the facade, which also served as the church's vestibule because it stood on four strong pillars. Over time, the church became completely dilapidated. In 1933, a new three-nave church was built. The old bell tower was preserved, but a new one was built on the other side so that two bell towers rose above the hill on the facade. However, during World War II (1944), the church was damaged. After the war (1948/49), it was partially repaired, especially by Mr. 1952. A new bell tower was built between 1959 and 1963. After that, the interior of the church was decorated according to the new liturgical regulations (1969). Behind the main altar, in the apse, there was a statue of St. Michael on the wall, and above the triumphal arch there was a large cross, the work of the academic sculptor A. Starčević.
