The church is located in the centre of the village. An old pilgrimage path leads to the medieval Gothic church. Pilgrims come from Bled and the surroundings for various religious holidays: St. Stephen (26th December), who is the patron saint of horses and transporters, St. Lawrence (10th August), St. Valentine (7th January), and the May procession prayer.

The front of the church is adorned by a preserved fresco of St. Christopher. More about the
fresco and restoration can be found in the Attractions section.

The interior of the church, mainly the presbytery, bears signs of the late Gothic style, but the nave itself does not have a distinctive style. The church underwent two was rebuilt twice for the purpose of enlargement. The current size and shape dates from around 1870.
