The Brestanica Parish

The Basilica of the Mary from Lourdes, Brestanica
Parish Church
We, the Slovenes, have our own Lourdes1 too. With its triple-nave basilica, it is situated in a place with
a remarkably rich history. It was built at the spot where the Brestanica river flows into the Sava River, and
above which dominates the Rajhenburg castle, where the Trappists had their monastery in the years from
1881 to 1947.
Brestanica was originally, until 1953, named Rajhenburg which in German means “a wealthy place”.
From whichever direction you drive to this place, your eye catches the sight of the immense church almost
immediately. The foundation stone was blessed on 16th July, 1908. At the same time, they have also built a

parchment in the foundation stone. The parchment reads: “Rise strongly from the blessed foundation, the
home of Mary, you, and bring the Slovene people the mercy of Lourdes!”2
At the beginning of the 20th century, the parish of Rajhenburg needed a much more spacious parish
church. The preparations for the building began when Jožef Cerjak, who was up until then a vicar in the Mari-
bor cathedral, came to be the priest in Rajhenburg. Jožef founded the “Church Building Society of the Mary
of Lourdes” and all its members were obliged to provide gifts for the building. The biggest gift, however, was
the property that was donated by the local woman, Ana Koban. The church bears the honourable title “the
Lourdes of Slovenia”, due to the fact that countrymen from all over our country helped to build the church.
The building of the church began in 1908, on the 50th anniversary of Mary’s celebrations in Lourdes.
Sixty years later, it was consecrated by the Maribor bishop, Dr. Mihael Napotnik. An interesting fact – on the
same day, 2nd July, 1914, that the new church was being consecrated, the train with the body of the imperial
heir to the throne, Franc Ferdinand, and his wife Zofija came driving through Rajhenburg. Both of them were
victims of the assassination in Sarajevo.3

St. Peter’s Church, Brestanica

The Old Parish Church
The old parish church is situated at the oldest part of Brestanica, called Šutna, and with its dominant position calls to
attention its historic status. Its modern late-Gothic image still hides the traces of its Romance predecessor that stood in this
place in the 12th and 13th century. The church nave is originally from the Romance period, and the tower entrance from the
choir also leads through the former Romance window in the west wall.1
The single-nave building is remodelled in Baroque style in the nave, the presbytery is Gothic, with netlike ribbed vaults
from the 15th century and ceiling fresco, which are waiting to be uncovered and renovated. The side chapel was gradually added
to the building. In 1688 the church tower was added, and in the middle of the 18th century so too were both Baroque chapels.
The church got its final form when the north vestry was added to it in 1896. The north Baroque chapel is dedicated to St. Francis
Ksaverij. In its interior, you can see the ceiling stucco and the 1740 altar that was renovated in 2006.

The main altar is made of black marble and dates back to 1592. In the side altar there used to be a Gothic
stone Pieta from the 15th century, but nowadays it is in the Lourdes Basilica of the Mother of God, which is the
parish church.
The wooden pulpit bears the statues of four evangelists.
The Chapel of the Rosary Mother of God is empty and has been a mortuary for many years.
Next to the church, there was also a rotunda (St. Michael’s Chapel with ossuary) util 1830. We also have to
mention the two Renaissance relief tombstones: Margareta Rajhenburška – Gradnek’s tombstone, dates back to
1502, and the life-size tombstone belonging to the knight Franc Grandek dates back to 1563.
On 29th June, there is a festive celebration of the Peter and Paul’s holiday. And because the cemetery of
the Brestanica Parish has been in this place forever, this is also the place where the holiday of all the holy men is
celebrated, as well as the memory of all the deceased churchgoers.

The Rajhenburg Castle Romance and Gothic Chapel

Brestanica
The Rajhenburg Castle in Brestanica is the oldest castle in Slovenia. In writing, it was mentioned for
the first time on September 29, 895. In 1043, it became the property of the Salzburg archdiocese as the legacy
of countess Hema.1 The latest findings have shown, however, that the above-mentioned information is of
questionable validity, because the documents, in which the data was found, were transcribed. There is also

great possibility that the documents may even have been forged.2
The Romance chapel was found in the square Romance tower, in the northwest corner of the de-
sign, where there is also a late-Gothic chapel. It was discovered in December, 1979, on the first floor. It is
preserved in its circumferential walls, whereas its former stone, and possible statue decorations, are mostly
ruined. From the looks of its architectural components, the reconstruction of its main features is possible.
The chapel was decorated in the square room where two semicircular pillars – they supported the rib of the

The Legacy of the Trappists

Former monastery in Rajhenburg castle1
Trappists are a branch of the famous Cistercian Monks order, which was founded by St. Robert, a Benedictine abbot, from Molesmo,
France. In 1098, he and some monks started living in a province Cistercium, from which the order got its name. Later, St. Bernard entered the
order and founded another 160 monasteries. He is perceived as the second founder of the order and therefore the Cistercian monks are also
called the order of the Bernardines. Trappists got their name after a place called La Trappe, in Normandy. In Slovenia, there is the Cistercian
monastery in Stična, and there also used to be one in Kostanjevica na Krki, but it was abolished in 1782 by Jožef II.
Trappists came to Rajhenburg from the Notre Dame des Dombes monastery, in France. In 1880, the authorities closed the monastery.
When the monks were looking for a new place for their activity, they found their way across Vienna and Graz to Rajhenburg, where Christian
Esebeck, a baron, was just selling his castle.2 Abbot Benedict arranged to pay the price of 95,000 florins, which was paid by Friar Gabriel Giraud,
who is also the founder of the monastery. Together with the castle, they purchased also the land surrounding it, the vines on Stremič with its
wine cellars, the Sotelska property, as well as forests in Mačkovci, Šedem and Brezje. They drained the ponds and turned them into meadows.
On 21st April, 1881, seven monks came to Rajhenburg. And that’s how it all started. The castle was altered for purposes of their

The Trappists were good farmers and therefore had a great impact on the community. People looked up to
them, they began getting jobs, the poor were granted aid. Even though the Trappists were silent monks, they lived
as one with the town. The Brestanica monastery also had its own private secondary school and theology college.

The Koprivnica Parish

The Church of Mary the Ascended, the Parish Church
Koprivnica
The church is of late-Baroque origin and dates back to the 17th century. It used to be, and still is, a famous
pilgrimage path, until the basilica in Brestanica was built.
An older church, or at least a chapel, probably stood at its place before. A sign of that is an old fresco,
representing the birth of Christ, on the left side of the nave. The church was consecrated in 1808 by Bishop Leopold
von Firrman.
In 1824, the church was elongated and the church tower was added to it.1
In the main altar, which dates back to around 1800, is a statue of Mary with Jesus and above the statue,

there is another statue of her that represents her leaving for heaven. Next to it are statues of St. Joseph and St. John.
At the top of the altar are statues of St. Valentin and St. John Nepomik. In the presbytery, there are pictures of four gospellers:
Luke, John, Mark, and Mathew.
On the arch that separates the nave from the presbytery, there are pictures of Christ on the left side, and Mary on the right side.
The church has got two side altars. The left one is Ann’s altar with statues of St. Francis and St. Nick, and the right one is the Cross Altar

The Chapel of the Holy Virgin of Lourdes, Koprivnica

The Chapel
The chapel is situated next to the main road and was built as a thank you for the safe return from the battle at Novara. It was
built in 1885 by a local man, Blaž Sikošek, and was completely renovated in 1974 by his niece, Margareta Hess.
The author remembers, as she writes in the book “How the Chapel in Koprivnica Came to Be”1, that her father told her when
she was lying in bed ill and looking at a picture on the wall: ”See, that little church was built for our dear Holy Virgin by him as a
thank you because he was saved from a very wild sea battle.” The man her father was talking about, was her uncle, Blaž Sikošek.
He was drafted into the navy in Pulj and taught to be a gunner. When the war with Italy began, he was called in to fight. His
family escorted him to the place where the chapel is today, and it was there that he said: ”If I am granted mercy to return from war
unharmed, I will build an appropriate statue in this very place, where I so solemnly swear, as a sign of my gratitude.”
The first battle was at Kustoca. Italy was defeated, but marshal Radetzky decided to attack again in 1849. While doing so,
he lost his ship Novara, which Blaž Sikošek was aboard. The ship sank, and with it sank a large part of the crew. Only the captain
of the ship and Blaž survived.

he also asked for advice on how to build a chapel in Koprivnica from the vicars of both Pulj and Koprivnica. He
wished to keep his promise, so he began working. He brought the stones, blocks, windows, doors, fences, and
all the rest to Koprivnica from Pulj. He wanted to be part of the construction all the way, from the beginning to
the end. He brought the statues of Mary, as well as those of Blaž and St. Catherine, his wife’s patroness, from
Vienna. Before the building began, the ground was blessed. They built a little chest with the treasure in the
foundation. The interior of the chapel was richly decorated. The altar had all the accessories. That was the place
where the holy masses were supposed to be read five times per year: one dedicated to Mary, one on the day
of St. Blaž, one on St. Catherine’s Day, one on the anniversary of Blaž’s death, and one on the anniversary of
his wife’s death. At first, Blaž Sikošek planned that he would be buried together with his wife in the chapel, The address of the parish office: Koprivnica 4, 8282 Koprivnica

The Church of the Holy Virgin, Dolenja vas

A Subsidiary Church
The plan of the modern church that is situated in the middle of the village, on a slightly elevated
terrain and offers nice view of the valley, originates from 1627. We can assume that a medieval camp used
for warding off the Turks was set here because of the strategic position of the place.1
The church endured many interventions. The vestry and the church tower are at the north side,
the main door is in the west wall, and the side door is built in the church tower. The massive lower part
of the tower is of medieval origin. There is a drawing of it in Ripšl’s2 Chronicles, where the tower bears in
inscription with the year 1627 at the top. The tower also had a built-in clock and a sundial from 1840.3 In
between, the tower was re-built many times, the last time, in 1995, a new door was made on the ground
floor. A wooden ladder leads into the top storeys of the tower. The nave is nicely vaulted.

With time, however, it had got too small, so it had to be replaced with a new one. The designs for it were entrusted to the architect Janez Fuerst
from Ljubljana. He worked with Vicar Janez Nanut and took into consideration the history of the town while designing it. He illustrated the tower above
the coalmine Zaklo with the tower of the church.
The foundation of the church was blessed by the Maribor substitute bishop, Dr. Vekoslav Grmič, in 1975. The church was consecrated on 21st
May, 1995, by Dr. Franc Kramberger, the bishop of Maribor. The paintings in its interior are the work of Leon Koporc, a painter from Ljubljana.
The church bells were made in Žalec. The largest bell weighs a little more than 600 kg. The thing that is very significant in this church is the

St. Jurij’s Church, Zdole
The Parish Church
The lovely village above Krško is proud to have the parish church of St. Jurij’s that was built in 1710. Anton
Siedl wrote in 1843 that the church is from 200 to 300 years old.1
At the main altar, there is a statue of St. Jurij that was made by Adam Šerer from Videm. On the statue’s
left side is a statue of St. John the Baptist, and on the right side, a statue of St. Jacob senior. The left side altar of
the Virgin standing on a snake wrapped around the Earth. On her left side is the statue of St. Francis, and on her
right the statue of St. Aloysius. The right side altar is the altar of the Jesus’ Heart. On his left side is the statue of
the Virgin, and on his right the statue of St. Joseph. Scenes from the Bible are painted on the ceiling.

Siedl wrote in his Chronicles that except for the roof, the building was in good condition.
He also stated that the church had three bells. The large one bore the inscription “Made by Vincenc Zmaza, Ljubljana 1808”,
the middle one “God’s Holy Ghost, have mercy on us”, and the small one “St. Florian, pray for us MDCXLVI”. The smallest bell bears the
inscription “MARIA UNR”. Siedl also tells us that the bell with the picture and the inscription about St. Florijan came as a gift from the
dean parish of Videm. Folk tales from the 19th century confirm this. Siedl also reports that the inscription on the smallest bell was in
Gothic alphabet and had a picture, a large part of which was not recognisable anymore. There were also two figurines in knight’s clothes
on its left and right part.
In 1875, the little church with a wooden roof was expanded, made more beautiful and got its neo-Romance form. The last two
most important renovations date back to 1986 and 2002, when the church tower’s roof was replaced. The frontage was renovated in 2008.
A cemetery used to surround the parish church.

The Church of St. John the Evangelist Krško
The Parish Church
The Church of St. John, the Evangelist was built in 1582, but was extensively remodelled in the 19th century, and nowadays only church tower and a part under
the choir still have the original form and style.1
In 1894, when the Krško Parish was established, the church was elevated from a regular, to parish church. At that time, it was also extensively renovated with
the financial help from Josipina Hočevar. The form of the church was rebuilt into a pseudo-Romance form. In the front of the façade is the statue of the Virgin. Above the
door, there are two large relief medallions. The tympanums2 are also decorated with relief. The third medallion is built in the back outer wall of the presbytery.3 With
these sculptures, Krško gained important works of art that belong to the early opus of the sculptor Ivan Zajc, who later designed the statue of Prešeren that is situated in
Ljubljana. The sculptures from Krško were chiselled from Istrian stone and were finished in 1899.4

The relief of the Holy Trinity is situated on the presbytery. But more exciting are the scenes on the two
wall medallions, St. John on Pathmos and the Wonder with the Chalice. It is an interesting story of how John got
the order for the statues. When the young artist experienced a total family poverty at age 18 and then became an
orphan in 1888, a benefactress named Josipina Hočevar took him under her wing. With her support, he left to study
in Vienna. It was only logical that she later entrusted him with the making of the relief. The interior of the church is
bath-like vaulted and stylistically indefinable. In the church is a tombstone made of white marble that belongs to
the town councillor and merchant, Andrej Kopriva, who died in 1648 and got his tombstone erected while he was
still alive. The second tombstone is made of black stone and was erected by the vicar Gašper Thunkelsteiner for his
parents and siblings. Both tombstones are good examples of the Early Baroque. The christening stone has got a sim-
ple chalice-like form and stands on a round pillar. On it is an inscription, which tells us that it was made by a provost
of Novo Mesto and a vicar of Leskovec, Polidor de Montagna, a well-known opponent of the Protestants. On the left
side, under the choir, there is a painting of Annunciation that dates back to the late 16th or early 17th century.5
The main wooden altar is in pseudo-Romance style. It contains a painting of St. John the Evangelist, which
was painted in 1861 by Pavel Kűnl. In the right side altar, there is a painting of St. Nikolaj, which dates back to

the second half of the 19th century. The oil painting in Mary’s altar was made by Fran Klemenčič and is based on a German sketch. This painting was also
an order from Ms. Hočevar. Fran Klemenčič, a renowned artist and a contemporary to the Slovene Impressionists, spent his childhood in Boštanj. He also
lived in Krško for two years and in 1909 moved to Ljubljana. In the church, there is also a Baroque holy-water font under the choir and a washstand made
of black marble in the vestry from the late 17th century.6
Outside, next to the church, is a stone pillar from late Renaissance that was erected as a reminder of the plague.

St. Joseph’s Church, Trška gora hill above Krško

Subsidiary church
The church can be seen from afar. As a guard, it stands above the plain where the Sava River flows. Valva-
sor wrote about it: ”The church burnt to the ground on the night of 27th May, five years ago. The fire spread from
a near by house that was property of the Krško castle. All three altars, two bells, one chalice, and other church
utilities and decorations were ruined.”1
This happened in around the year 1683. The church might have primarily been made of wood. In Valva-
sor’s times, it was in ruin. But soon, they began building a new and larger building. It was partly finished in 1705,
even though the chronogram on the altar bears the date 1702.2 The church has never been finished. Most likely
this happened because of shortage of funds.
At first people thought that the Augustinian monks, who had a monastery near by, were building the
church, but later Ljudmila Šlibar, who worked at the Valvasor Library in Krško, found out that the building of the
church was ordered by the countess Katarina Elizabeta Auersperg, the last owner of the Krško castle.3

home. Therefore, people used to call that part of the Turška gora hill “at the monks’”. Those monks are buried
under the main altar. The hill was bought by a writer and lawyer in Krško, Janez Mencinger, in the late 19th
century. He renewed the vineyards and orchards on the property. He used to send wine from this vineyard to
the mayor of Ljubljana, Ivan Tavčar. In 1904, he sold the property to the local wine trade teacher, Gombač.

Subsidiary church
The place where the church is situated used to be called “St. Laurence Mountain”. “At the top of the near-by Mountain,
next to the pilgrims’ church with its distinct protector, St. Laurence, are Roman graves and inscriptions. Among the graves is an
interesting tombstone, which was put up for Gesio Sabrin by
his family. The barbarians, who killed Gesio, were probably
the Marksmen. They invaded these places in the 1060’s.”1
St. Laurence’s Church is facing east. The present day
nave is a left-over from the Romance church. This former
church had a Romance-designed window, made of many
pieces of various stones. The window is unfortunately no
longer there. Next to the window are still some remains of

apse, opens up into the present-day Baroque presbytery.
The main altar is from the 17th century, and the side altars from the second half of the 18th century. In the main
altar is the statue of St. Laurence. A statue of St. Apolonia is situated in the left side altar, and the statue of St. Jurij is on
the right side one. Next to these two altars are also paintings: by Apolonia’s altar is a painting of Mary and next to Jurij’s
a painting of Jesus. On the arch that divides the nave and the presbytery is a painting of The Last Supper.
A Roman inscription stone with a figurative image is built in the northwest corner of the nave.2
Eight saints are painted in the two fields of the church nave. On the left side there are (from the entrance to
presbytery): St. Jacob, St. John, St. Bernard, and St. Joseph. And on the left side are St. Paul, St. Peter, St. Laurenc, and
St. Frank Saleški.

The Gallery of the Holy Ghost, Krško

The art gallery in the former church hospital
This is the last building on the Valvasor embankment. It is connected to a hospital that was made by the Lords of Rajhenburg. The church was
built in the place of the former saddler shop and contained two altars – the altar of the Holy Ghost, and the altar of the Last Supper.1
A very important feature of the church are its walls with their height proportions. The façade in the main, lower part, is divided with four
massive half-pillars.2 The two middle ones enclose a rectangular stone portal with volute reveres under the upper beam. Above this, there is a large
window, arched at the top. On the other side of the capitals3, the altitude lifting power is stopped by a strong wreath wall. Above the wall, however,
continues the course of the pilasters on the epistyle4 insertion, until the make up of the main part of the façade is concluded by the bulging wall. The
lower part above the wall is already a kind of Attica5, in the middle filled with a shallow arc that connects the images of the two central pilasters.6
Semicircular chapels are situated on each side of the oblong nave. The square presbytery is concluded by a slightly bulging back wall.
The interior of the church is very colourful. The transitions among the nave, the presbytery, and the chapels are very soft. The architecture
is late Baroque and, despite the almost classic division of the walls, works softly. According to Nace Šumi, the architecture was influenced by the

The Capuchin Monastery, Krško

The monastery with the Church of the Immaculate Conception of Virgin Mary
The Capuchin monks came to Krško to help out the priests from the churches near-by. The Krško
town hall wrote to the administration of the Capuchin province a request for the monks come live in the
town. The administration gave them a positive reply in 1634, and in 1640 the Capuchin monks came to
Krško. The town hall approved the building of the monastery, bought the land from Janez Radleker for
600 florins, 500 of which were spent on the construction. Some of the money was also contributed by
the noblemen and townspeople from the surrounding towns.1 The foundation stone was laid on 3rd June,
1640, by the Novo Mesto provost, Nikolaj Mrav. The building was finished four years later. The church was
consecrated on 11th September, 1644, in honour of Mother of God, by the Pičen bishop, Anton Marenzi,
who was until 1643 the local vicar. The permission for the consecration was given by the Oglej patriarch.2
The monastery within the church doesn’t exactly represent the peak of artistic achievement, but is
nicely knit in the urbanite image and the silhouette of the town. The architecture meets the demands of

The parish church
The church that is one of the most recognisable 16th century churches in Slovenia was supposedly mentioned for the first
time in documents dating back to 1074.1 It is a well-known fact that the original church in Leskovec stood there even before the
year 1200. The Romance church, more of a chapel, was dedicated to Mary’s Assumption. It was called “Our dear Lady on the lake”
because water used to run from the cemetery around the chapel.2
The parish church of the Sad Mother of God is mentioned for the first time in 1274 as the church of Mary on the Lake.

St. Ann’s Church, Leskovec pri Krškem

Subsidiary church
The church is situated on a small hill and can be seen from afar. It too was mentioned by Valvasor, especially its two altars of St.
Anne and St. Rok. Supposedly it was built in the 17th century, but was probably renovated in the 18th century, so today it has a totally
late-Baroque character. Cevc says that this character is of a very popular nature.1 According to the north door, the renovation took place
from the years 1760 to 1770.
The rectangular nave has a straight wooden ceiling that was covered with plaster. On the sides, the nave opens into two shallow
chapels, and the triumphal arch with a compressed arc divides it from the rectangular bath-like presbytery, which shows characteristics
of the late 18th century.2
Unfortunately most of the plaster from the ceiling has fallen off. Two frescos have been ruined because of that. The one above

Cave prove that. According to that, we can assume that this church has got a very rich tradition. Its rectangular base is from
the Middle Ages, but the nave was later made Baroque. The presbytery is enclosed by skimmed edges.
The nave is bath-like vaulted, and its wall arches stand on pillars. The presbytery is also bath-like vaulted.
The church has got four altars. The main altar is from the second half of the 18th century and is dedicated to St.
Stephen, deacon and the first martyr. He is accompanied by St. Mathew and St. Mark.1
St. Stephen was the first martyr, born around the birth of Christ in Jerusalem. He died around the year 40, when an
enraged crowd stoned him to death. Among those who approved of his death was also Saul, who later became an apostle

The side altars are simpler. In the left one is a saint without any attributes by him, and in the right one a very nice statue of St. Laurence, who was also a
deacon and martyr.
Very interesting is also the Rococo altar of St. Francis Ksaverij in the left chapel.
The church tower is built next to the west nave wall.
Since 2006, there has been also a bowl for the holy water in the church. The bowl is Vladimira Štoviček and Vladimir Čebular’s work.

Raka Parish
St. Laurence’s Church on Raka
Parish church
Raka is a picturesque village that was settled first in prehistoric times and then later in the
Roman Era, proof of which are Roman graves and an old building site. Nowadays, the massive parish
church of St. Laurence, from 1803, stands in the middle of a specifically designed square. The church
had its Gothic predecessor with the same name here. The Raka Parish was founded as early as 1363.
When the old church was pulled down, they began building a new and magnificent building in its place,
in 1770. The new building was consecrated in 1804.1 St. Laurence, the deacon, was born around 230
in Spain and died on 10th August, 258, in Rome. Laurence was the first “autumn saint” and was very
popular with the people. His name-day is on 10th August and people say good words for themselves to
him about their troubles.2

The Church of the Holy Ghost, Veliki Trn
Parish Church
The Church of the Holy Ghost in Veliki Trn is situated in a remarkable place and stands on the grounds
of its older predecessor from the 15th century. It was built as the subsidiary church of the ancient Leskovec
parish and is dedicated to the Holy Ghost. The parish has been here since 1793. The church is situated on the
highest spot in town, which is 470 metres above sea level, on the spot where four villages come together: Ardro,
Apnenik, Veliki trn, and Mali trn.
From the top of the hill you can see far across the hilly Dolenjska and to the other side, all the way to
