According to legends after major floods only four families survived in Pompominovecinovec and they saved seven sheep. These rescued inhabitants later built a new village and named it Sedmerovec (seven sheep).
From Pominovec till today there is only a roman catholic church preserved from St. John the Baptist. In the past churches was normally built in higher location but this church is an exception. A curious visitor will be surprised when they find a church location in between fields. Originally a roman building dating from the 12th century was rebuilt in the 18th century in a baroque style. As a silent witness of man and its mortality there is a cemetery preserved around the church. The church in Pominovec was named a cultural heritage in 1965. Currently it belongs to the parish of Bolešov and ceremonies are held here twice a year. The church is located on the side of the road from Nemšová direction Lednické Rovne, a small lane in between fields leads to it, it is also possible to cycle there. Also, at the end of the summer there is a cycling pilgrimage at the church.
