Monumentale katholieke kerk met imposante klokkentoren van Sloveens architect Jože Plečnik. Plein voor de kerk is in heraanleg, belooft een aangenaam plein en hart voir de wijk te worden.

Skvělé místo

Édifice remarquable en tout cas de l’extérieur. Malheureusement toute la place autour en travaux le rend inaccessible.
