Cultural heritage
The French Chapel-Shrine is a memorial to French soldiers fallen in the Combat at St. Marein during the Napoleonic wars.

A small chapel-shrine in the settlement, named the French Chapel-Shrine (Slovene: Francoska kapelica), was erected in the 19th century (by tradition, in 1813) in memory of French soldiers who died in the Combat at St. Marein during the Napoleonic campaign in the Balkans.[5]
