Banje or Banja Rudnička is an Old Serbian settlement. It is mentioned for the first time in a charter of Serbian King Stefan Uroš I , dating to the mid-13th century, granted to the Gračanica monastery. It was then granted by King Stefan Milutin to the Banjska Monastery. The village church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was founded by nobleman Rodop who served Serbian Despot Đurađ Branković , and was buried here in 1436. Two bells found in its ruins are preserved in the Patriarchal Monastery of Peć and National Museum in Belgrade. Between 1936–41 the church was renovated, but destroyed during World War II by Albanian fascists. In 1971 the church was reconstructed. The church was used as a model for an Orthodox church in Norway.
