History
The Church of St. George was built in 1799. At the end of World War II , after the fall of Nazi and Ustaša forces on the Syrmian Front , a group of 51 local ethnic Danube Swabians and Croats were killed on the church ground by Yugoslav Partisans .[6] In 2012, unknown perpetrators broke the church's windows by hitting stones at them during the night.[3]
