==Church== thumb|left|Holy Trinity Church in Preloka The local parish church, built on the top of Krtinjek Hill to the east of the village core, is dedicated to the Holy Trinity () and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was mentioned for the first time in 1334 as a chapel of ease of Holy Cross Church in the nearby village of Vinica. The original church was probably destroyed during Ottoman incursions into White Carniola in the 15th and 16th centuries. The current building was built in the mid-19th century on what is said to have been the site of an Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Kyriaki.
