This beautiful church crowns the hill of Sveti Jošt nad Kranjem above Kranj and is an iconic landmark of the city and superb hiking objective.

Sveti Jošt (Saint Judoc in English) church was first mentioned in 973, though most of the current building dates from the 18th century. Its Baroque architecture and the superb views across the Kamnik and Julian Alps make it a particularly photogenic church.
