Before the Ottomans, there was a monastery in which were Templars, Cistercians, Augustinians, Ivanovites, and Franciscans and they all left their trace there. This place was a possession of family Giletich's, after them it devolved to Berislavich family and united with their lands is one possession called Kobaš.
