History and equipment

In the Middle Ages, near today's church, there was a sacred building documented in 1496 under the patronage of the Archangel Michael .

In 1764 the church was extensively renovated.

Until the end of 2009 the church was run as the Open Church Sils-Maria by the ecumenical foundation of the same name and was a cultural center of the village.
