Church of St. Mary on Smolnik

St. Mary's Church in Smolnik in Pohorje was built between 1859 and 1861.

The building has an orthogonal floor plan, with an attached entrance and a presbytery, and it stands out from the outside due to its accentuated facade with a portal, curved front and bell tower with a pyramidal roof. The interior opens up to a central space with a domed arch surrounded by pilasters. The altar architecture is painted in the presbytery, where St. Anthony of Padua and St. Luke are, and in the centre of the painted attachment is an oil image of the Immaculate Conception. The actual altar represents a canteen with a tabernacle decorated with ears of corn, grapes and on top the Lamb of God on a book with seven seals. The tabernacle is worshipped by two kneeling puttas on volutes. It is a post-baroque work of the 19th century, which consistently repeats the characteristics of the original baroque. The two angels are distantly reminiscent of the works of the sculptor F. K. Reiss from the first half of the 18th century.
