The late Baroque Parish Church of St. Helena (1782-1805), with a bell tower and a harmonious main portal with spherical ceilings. It was first mentioned in the records of canon visitation in 1639 and was painted, as well as the ceiling. There was a small tower with a bell over the front entrance. The great earthquake in Hrvatsko Zagorje in 1775 significantly damaged the already decrepit parish church. Due to the ruinous condition the church was abandoned in 1789. In the spring of 1782 began the construction of the new, present Parish Church of St. Helena. The church was built by Žigmund and Josip Vojković; their family emblem is on the Classicistic front portal. The church has a Baroque main altar, the pulpit (1787), the "God's Grave" backdrop, three chalices (from 1778), the reliquary of the Holy Cross with a leather pouch, the crucifix and the statue of the Christ's Baptism.
