This church, a striking example of Gothic architecture with its adorned vaults, angel star, and black marble altar, underwent a late 19th-century restoration to reclaim its original Gothic charm, renewing its facades, stained-glass windows, and entrance portal. Inside, pillars divide the hall, supporting a ribbed vault featuring an eight-point star. The central nave's vault boasts an angel star, while the presbytery flaunts a star-shaped vault adorned with figurines. In the 18th century, Ludovic Bombassi replaced the main Gothic altar with a remarkable black marble piece, complemented by statues of St. Leopold and St. Nicholas by Angelo Pozzo. Additional altars by sculptor Janez Jarm and Janez Vurnik Jr.'s Mary's altar from 1898 add to the church's splendor. Near the church and rectory stand remnants of a 14th-century wall. A World War II bunker houses a shrine to Edith Stein, and the rectory courtyards preserve traces of an erstwhile tavern, offering historical insights upon request or during guided tours. This church likely had its origins in a 10th-century chapel and evolved alongside the town's growth, becoming significant enough to relocate the archdiocese by the 13th century. Its transition from a Romanesque basilica to a Gothic church began around 1500, potentially marked by a 1495 inscription, denoting a major renovation.
