Until 1415 the area belonged to the Ptuj Archdiocese. After 1415 these settlements became a part of the St. Lawrence Parish (today Juršinci), while both belonged to the Ptuj Diocese. Its chaplaincy was mentioned in the protocol between the years 1585 and 1615. It temporarily became a parish in 1757 and permanently in 1782. In 1819 curate Franc Vrbnjak introduced a fair on the day of the parish patron saint St. Andrai, that is on 30 November. The parish chronicle also mentions a few folk missions, which were led by Jesu­its, Lazarists and Minorites from 1870 onwards.

The St. Andrai parish church was built in 1513. A date-stone showing the year can be seen on the bell tower. With the exception of the bell tower from 1529, the entire church was built in the Gothic style. The presbytery with the vestry is from a later period. In recent times the church was renovated; it waspainted by Brollo. Along with the main Baroque altar, the church has two goth­ic side altars. In the presbytery there is a star vault; in the nave the vault leans on semicircular pillars. The are partly Baroque, and partly from later centu­ries.
