Križevniška Church (also called Križanke Church or Church of Our Lady of Mercy), an astonishing sacral building in the centre of Slovenia’s capital, offers an intimate haven in the very midst of the city’s urban hustle and bustle. The Church is a part of Križanke, the enchanting complex of the former Monastery which was first mentioned in 1268 when the Knights of the Cross (Križ in Slovene language stands for Cross) settled in the complex. The Church, torn down in early 18th century and then rebuilt in Baroque style, bearing a rich front, articulated by pilasters and a cupola, was the first Baroque building in the region.
