St. Martin's Church

St. Martin's Church is considered the oldest religious monument in Pomurje, that was first consecrated to St. Venceslav, then to the Virgin Mary and now to St. Martin. The Roman Catholic church, built around 1230, was once decorated with colourful frescoes, that later faded and are now lost. A particularly distinctive feature of the brick church is the portal that preserves the characteristics of the former Romanesque architecture - on each side there are three columns that end with partially preserved floral and faunal ornaments. There is a peculiar one to be found above the south front of the church: the cross is held by a panther or a lioness instead of a lamb, which is considered to be a remarkable and unique piece of stuccowork.
