On the east side of the plain of Grobnik, which has a legend attached to it about a battle with the Tartars in 1242, there is the baroque Mayer castle from the 17th century. The Church of sv. Filip i Jakov [St. Philip and James], was built in 1105 and is one of the oldest churches in the Grobnik area.
