Parish Church of St. Mary of the Assumption, Kapele

The church was built in 1798 on the site of an older predecessor in a late Baroque style with elements of Classicism. Initially, the main altar housed a statue of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus in her arms, known as "Mary on the Lake." At that time, the valley between the Kapela hill and the Sotla River was still covered with water, leading to the parish's original name, "Kapela on the Lake." A major renovation of the church took place in 1884, during which a new bell tower was added, and the church was equipped with new organs. However, the destructive earthquake of 1895 damaged the church to such an extent that it was no longer safe for worship, which had to be conducted in the nearby Church of the Holy Trinity. The restoration of the church lasted until 1906, and on May 1, 1907, the renovated church was consecrated by Bishop Dr. Mihael Napotnik.

The church's interior features two blind domes and a smaller, flat-ended presbytery. The vaults are entirely adorned with frescoes, with the central image depicting the Assumption of Mary. The wall paintings can be definitively dated to the period of the church's post-earthquake restoration and are attributed to the artistic tradition of Tomaž Fantoni and Jakob Brollo. From this period also comes the altar relief of the Assumption of Mary, accompanied by statues crafted in the woodcarving workshops of South Tyrol.
