History

A part-time school was established in the village in 1865, and regular schooling was started in 1872, when a school was also built.[3] During the Second World War, the Partisans burned the school and rectory in Sela pri Šumberku on Christmas Day, 1943.[3][4]

Šumberk Castle

The ruins of Šumberk Castle (German: Schönberg),[5] a 12th-century castle that was abandoned in the early 18th century, lie on a hill southeast of the settlement. The castle chapel survives as a church dedicated to Saint Catherine.[6]

Church

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1526, but the current building dates to the mid-19th century.[7]
