Heart Of Slovenia

St Agnes Church

  Golčaj, Lukovica     more than a year ago
Not the easiest to get to, admittedly. A village or a town surrounds most churches in the region, despite them almost universally being built on hills. This isn’t the case with St Agnes Church near Golčaj, as the only villages visible here are the ones that dot the beautiful landscape on the way up. The oldest church in the Črni graben valley, it also has the oldest church bell (built in 1423) in the Ljubljana diocese. The ruins of a Sacristan’s house stand solemnly in front, adding yet more feelings of isolation to this gorgeous little church. The 17th century (restored at the beginning of the 1990s) coffered ceiling inside is also every bit as stunning as it is unique. To have a look around the interior you must call ahead, or turn up on one of a number of religious ceremonial days.
