Description
On entering the church you step into a hall, which is divided into three by pillars that support the ribbed vault, made up of an eight-point star. The vault of the central nave is embellished with an angel star. The presbytery also has a high star-shaped vault with figurines.
In the 18th century the original main Gothic altar of St. Peter was replaced by a black marble altar, the work of Ludovic Bombassi from Ljubljana. The statues of St. Leopold and St. Nicholas at the side are the work of Angelo Pozzo. In the presbytery there is a newer altar, oriented towards the congregation, the work of the sculptor Janez Jarm.
At the end of the southern nave is a shrine to Mary. The white Mary's altar is the work of Janez Vurnik Jr. from 1898. At the end of the northern nave is a tabernacle, which was designed by the local architect Ivan Vurnik in the 1930s, and was painted by his wife Helena Vurnik. On the side altars of Saints Roch and Sebastian, as well as St. Catherine, there is preserved paintings from 17th century altars.
