In the village of Spodnje Prapreče sits St Luke’s Church. Unusually for a church in Slovenia it doesn’t rest on the top of a hill, more on a gentle slope in the village. Another interesting facet, and one immediately more noticeable upon entering the church, is the sloping floor. The rise from the entrance to the presbytery is well over a metre. There are two main schools of thought behind this; either those who built the church wanted to maintain the higher position of the priests over the people, or merely the natural shape of the floor was respected. We aren’t sure. What we are sure about is the elegance of the 16th century frescoes within, as well as the all-encompassing acoustics inside. Call ahead for a tourist viewing.
