Cultural heritage
There is a two-story masonry pigsty dating from the 19th century at Vovše no 5. The structure has an arcaded ground floor, and the upper floor was built as a dower cottage, where a retired farmer that has passed his property on to his heirs could live. The arcade features four columns: the inner two are round, and the outer two are octagonal. The upper floor has three windows, and the two floors are separated by a decorative cornice.[6]
