Zatolmin is a settlement north of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Peter and belongs to the Parish of Tolmin.
Holy Spirit Church
A second church, built in the hills high above the settlement, in the area known as Javorca, is a memorial church from the First World War and is dedicated to the Holy Spirit.[3] The church was built by Austrian soldiers in 1916 based on plans by the Austrian architect Remigius Geyling (1878–1974). Its exterior portrays the stylized crests of the kingdoms and provinces of Austria-Hungary. The brightly colored interior of the church is decorated in the Vienna Secession style. Oak plaques bear the names of the Austro-Hungarian soldiers that fell at battles in the area. The church has been remodeled several times, most recently in 2005. It was declared a cultural and historical monument in 1990. The interior of the church can be viewed from May through September by contacting the Sotočje local tourist organization in Tolmin.[4]References
