The Church of St. John

The Church of St. John

On the eastern shore of Lake Bohinj is the Gothic Church of St John with a Baroque bell tower and a covered entrance porch. The church nave is still Romanesque in its foundations, the chancel is Gothic, and the nave vault is late Gothic.

The frescoes are famous: among the oldest in Slovenia is the fresco of St John the Evangelist drinking poison in front of the priest Aristodemus.
