Name

The name Lužarji is a collective toponym, referring to a settlement where several people with the surname Lužar lived.[4]

Church
Saint Oswald's Church

The local church, built outside the settlement to the north, is dedicated to Saint Oswald and belongs to the Parish of Velike Lašče. It is a medieval building that was thoroughly rebuilt in the mid-18th century. The church was burned during the Second World War, at Christmas 1942.[5] After the war, there was political opposition in Yugoslavia to restoring the church.[5] It was restored in the 1980s and was consecrated by Bishop Stanislav Lenič on August 1, 1982.[5][6]
