The area was traditionally part of Styria and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.[2] The settlement is the Geometric Centre of the Republic of Slovenia.

The local church, built in the hamlet of Zgornja Slivna, is dedicated to Saint Agnes (Slovene: sveta Neža) and belongs to the Parish of Vače. It is a late 14th-century church that was restyled in the Baroque in the late 17th to early 18th centuries.[3]
