Erected in the 14th century but not written of until 1526, St Florian’s Church has been through its fair share of changes in the almost 500 years since. It didn’t become an independent parish until 1974, and will celebrate 40 years of independence this year. In the multiple remodeling and renovation that has happened since, the church has completed an almost 180 degree turn from the original form. Where we now find the bell tower originally stood the entrance, and the alter previously stood near where the entrance now is. Many relics from long ago have survived however, such as a 15th century sandstone statue of the very St Florian it is named after. It also has a cross and chandelier inside designed by, you guessed it, Jože Plečnik.
