Jamnik – The Church of St. Primus and St. Felician

The Church of St. Primus and St. Felician in the small village of Jamnik is considered as one of the most beautiful and picturesque Slovenian historical monuments. It is located on the verge of a prominence, which, on account of its visibility throughout the Gorenjska region, also served as a non-fortified signaling post in the time of Turkish invasions. The church consists of a rectangular nave, a trilatteraly coupled presbytery and a bell tower, leanded against the nave and covered with pyramid-shaped roof. The facade of the nave with painted graphite grey comerstones of Renaissance and Baroque conceals older, medieval core.
