The parish church in Štepanja Vas is dedicated to Saint Stephen. It was first mentioned in written sources in 1529. The current church was built in 1690 and, except for a new Baroque bell tower built in 1967, preserves its original appearance. The bell tower contains three bells; the oldest and heaviest bell dates to 1640, and two smaller ones to 1922. The chancel arch features a fresco of Saint Stephen painted in 1718 by Hans Michael Reinwalt. The painting of Saint Stephen on the main altar is an 1890 work by Jurij Šubic (1855–1890); it was created in Paris and was the artist's last work created for Slovenia. The ceilings of the Baroque side chapels were painted by Franc Jelovšek (1700–1764) and were renovated after the 1895 Ljubljana earthquake. Until the First World War, teamsters and other horse owners would make a pilgrimage to the church on Saint Stephen's Day and on Christmas, offering wax horses as votive offerings to invoke the saint's protection for their horses.
