History
During the reconstruction it was discovered that the churc h was actually a bit odler (300 hundered years) than presumed, and is now dated in around 12th century (before that, in the 11th century, the site was used as a feudal court and its usage goes back much further). Some of its romanic foundation (when it was the biggest churc in the region) can still be seen, as can its later ghotic variation, which featured the odlest known earlygothic portal (built between 1250 nad 1270) in Slovenia.
Later the church has gone through a sreries of further baroqizations and renovations until ion 1784 it was claimed by the army as its army barracks and later warehouse. In 20th Century, the place was emptied and has remaiuned so until its refurbishemnt as a art venue.
The church history museum
As the renovation unearthed a number of artefacts and even found old tombs beneath the church grounds, an additional basement floor was now added. There one can see the three layers of the churchs architectural history – its romanic, gotic and baroqe layers. Additinally, the crypts and some other remains can be seen there.
