CHAPEL OF SAINT FLORIAN WITH CALVARY

The votive chapel of the people of Klanje from 1742.

Chapel of St. Florian above Klanjec was first mentioned in a canonical visitation in 1690. According to the description of the archdeacon who visited it in 1691, the chapel was built and has a bolt. Due to its small size, there is a large window on each side, through which people listen to Mass because only a few people can fit in the chapel. The altar of the chapel was masonry, with a wooden retable, and in the middle is a statue of St. Florian holding a cup of water. Mass was served in the chapel on the feast of St. Florian and in the eighth Corpus Christi, and the chapel was cared for by Mihael Vogić. The present chapel was built from the ground up in 1742. The single-nave chapel with a three-sided sanctuary has a bell tower built into the main façade.

The chapel was thoroughly renovated in 1899, when the older painting was covered with today's frescoes by the painter Sikošek from Brežice, which are in very poor condition today. The tower of the chapel is also without a tin roof, covered only by a thin concrete blanket. Recently, works on the necessary rehabilitation and restoration research have begun, so that the chapel can be professionally and qualitatively renovated.

Chapel of St. Florian, is the votive chapel of the people of Klanje who celebrate this saint as their protector. A beautiful forest promenade leads to it, and a calvary has been erected on the hill next to it.

The church and the Calvary are outside the town of Klanjec, but it can be reached on foot in 10 minutes.
