Celje Cathedral
The Celje Cathedral (Slovene: celjska stolnica) stands as a Roman Catholic cathedral honoring the Prophet Daniel in Celje, Slovenia. Since the establishment of the diocese of Celje in 2006, it has served as the episcopal seat. Originating in the 12th century, a small basilica occupied this site. However, it was replaced in 1306 by the present structure, functioning as the church for the abbey that once bordered the town in the Middle Ages. The rib-vaulted roof was constructed in 1379, and the church underwent multiple modifications until the 16th century. Notably, in 1413, the Gothic chapel of Mater Dolorosa was appended and consecrated by Bishop Hermann von Cilli of Freising in 1420. This chapel houses the prized wooden Pietà, a significant treasure within the church. The nave, comprised of three aisles, features a flat roof and a designated area for the exclusive use of nuns. Decorated with 15th-century frescoes, the ceilings hold historical significance, with the choir's paintings believed to predate those in the nave—some even potentially dating back to the 14th century. Among the depicted frescoes are representations of the Three Kings. A brightly-adorned chapel in honor of Saint Francis Xavier was introduced during the era. The chancel's painting, attributed to Michael Rosenberger, underwent restoration in 1851. Subsequently, in 1858, the church assumed its present appearance in the Gothic Revival style. Noteworthy gravestones from the Middle Ages to the 17th century embellish both interior and exterior walls. The 39th Bishop Hermann von Cilli of Freising, who passed away in Celje on December 13, 1421, following surgery, was interred in the church. His memorial now graces the presbytery on the Gospel side. Following liturgical reforms, the windows of the Mother of God chapel were replaced with vibrant modern stained glass.
