Memorial to Doctor Peter Držaj and 17 fallen comrades. The memorial was erected by the Clinical Center of Dr. Peter Držaj Hospital on 4 October 1975, and is the work of sculptor Janez Pirnat. The memorial is equipped with a stamp from the "Path of Remembrance of the Partisan Resistance" of Kamnik Municipality.

In Češnjice there were in 1944 the district committee of the Communist Party of Slovenia, the local committee of the Tuhinj OF, and a primary school. On 25 December the Germans attacked the Šlandrovo and Zidanškovo brigades, burned half the village, shot and burned four villagers, and took the others to internment.
