==History== During the Second World War, there was a Partisan checkpoint at the Lazar house in the village; other Partisan activities included a bunker established in August 1942 for treating the wounded. On 13 August 1944 German forces burned the main settlement and the hamlet of Grmače, as well as two houses in Vrh Svetega Miklavža. A Partisan monument was unveiled in Grmače in 1953.
