Archaeological evidence shows it was the location of an Iron Age hill fort.[3] The fort was later torn down, with its stones being used to build the Polica church. There's a 19th century stone signpost present still. In 2022, there's been a big water reservoir built at the village's entrance, to prevent flooding in the nearby town of Grosuplje.
