Bela Cerkev was attested as Alba eccclesia in 1283 and Weysenchirchen in 1296, among other spellings of these names.[3] All these names mean 'white church'.
The local parish church is dedicated to Saint Andrew and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was built in 1813 on the site of an earlier building.[4]
