The Baroque parish church of St. Martin was built in 1777 and restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. Its interior contains an altarpiece depicting Saint Martin by the academic painter Nevenko Letić, as well as a statue of Mary, Help of Christians. The remains of Pel-Monoštor are also located at the Lojmir site.
