Atop a steep hill above the village of Krtina we find the church of St Leonard, and it is one of the more fascinating churches in the heart of Slovenia. With its stand-alone bell tower and strange lack of presbytery, the church is a place of history and artistic value. Turkish marauders burned down the original in 1471, but within 30 years it was rebuilt. This time it came with a defensive wall and a number of watchtowers, providing extra security against future attacks. Inside the lack of presbytery lends to the altar being raised by two steps, but it is the frescoes that truly are the main event here. The depiction of the Last Judgment is simply one of the best we have seen in the entire country. Visit by prior appointment only.
