Velika Vas pri Krškem: Hotels and Cultural History

St. Martin’s Church stands in the center of Velika Vas pri Krškem and is designated as a cultural monument of local importance. It is located between the Veliki potok stream and the main road.

History and Culture

Written sources have mentioned St. Martin’s Church since 1436. Its altar furnishings from the first half of the 19th century preserve a Baroque character. The church houses a fresco of the Crucifixion of Christ with Mary and John from the late 15th century; a copy is located on the exterior wall. In addition, a Roman spolia is embedded in the church’s exterior wall. Thus, the church features both a medieval pictorial representation and a Roman architectural element, while the altar furnishings preserve evidence from a later period.
