St. Nicholas' Church is a brick church in late Gothic style, the largest medieval church in Lower Lausitz. The church was first mentioned in 1156, but the present church was built from the second half of the 15th century, with construction continuing until the 16th century. The church was extensively renovated between 1910 and 1911. During the Second World War the church burned down and had to be restored in the post-war period.
Radimlja is a stećak (monumental medieval tombstones, that lie scattered across Bosnia and Herzegovina) necropolis located near Stolac. The necropolis is one of the most valuable monuments of the mediaeval period in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The majority of its stećak tombstones date from the 1480s through the 16th century, as evidenced by the epitaph on one of the tombstones. This was the period when the family Miloradović-Stjepanović from genus Hrabren lived in the settlement located on near hill Ošanići. At the time the location was known as Batnoge, and the creation of the necropolis coincides with the rise of this noble family.
The necropolis includes 133 stećci. When the Čapljina-Stolac road was built during the Austro-Hungarian period in 1882, it ran through the necropolis and destroyed at least 15-20 tombstones.
