Giovanni church, first mentioned in 1070.
The present church dates back to 1822 and is a piece of art of the lake Baroque. Also worth visiting is the Goller residence, an exemplary building of a combined farm and residence. In the south east of Rasun di Sotto, there is a castle complex, dating back to 1200, which used to be court seat of the county of Val Pusteria.
