History
During the Ottoman rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the village remained mainly Catholic, unlike several other nearby former Catholic villages which turned Eastern Orthodox after the Ottoman conquest in the early 17th century. Bishop Marko Andrijašević reported in 1733 that four Catholic families in the village converted to Eastern Orthodoxy "a few years earlier".[2]
