Leskovica is a village in the Gorenja vas - Poljane Municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia[2].
The local church is dedicated to Saint Ulrich (Slovene: Sveti Urh). The original Late Gothic church was dedicated by the Bishop of Aquileia in 1517. The current church is of the same size, but dates to the late 17th century. It has a rectangualar vaulted nave with an angular apse. The main altar dates to the late 19th century. The altar painting of Saint Ulrich is an early work by the Slovene Impressionist painter Ivan Grohar[3].
