==History== thumbnail|left|Krasinec Manor Probable Roman finds have been discovered in the area, testifying to its early settlement. According to Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, the nobleman Ivan Adam Burgstall built a manor near the village, and in 1666 also established a manor farm for raising livestock. Between the manor house and the farm there was also a pond and dovecote. By the 18th century, the manor owned three farms in the village and was part of the dominion of Pobrežje. No trace remains of the manor today. In 1899 a historical vineyard cottage in the village was destroyed by fire. During the Second World War, a Partisan airfield was located from the village. It was used by American and British aircraft from fall 1944 to April 1945 to supply war material to the Partisan forces and to evacuate wounded soldiers and British paratroopers.
