Located a few minutes' walk south of the brewery in the village of Marija Gradec, the church - which looks larger than it actually is thanks to its position on top of a small hill - is a beautiful example of combined gothic and renaissance styles and is unique amongst Slovenia's many churches. Until the 18th century local residents regularly performed a passional procession from the centre of Laško to the church, with the crucifixtaion taking place on the front steps, and the event is considered to be the earliest theatrical performance in Laško's history.
