Celje Cathedral

This was replaced in 1306 by the present building, which served as the church of the abbey which during the Middle Ages stood on the edge of the town.

In 1413 the Gothic chapel of the Mater Dolorosa was added, which was dedicated in 1420 by the bishop of Freising, Hermann von Cilli.

The three-aisled nave has a flat roof and a separate space for the segregated use of nuns.

During the Baroque period a brightly-decorated chapel of Saint Francis Xavier was added.

The 39th bishop of Freising, Hermann von Cilli, who died in Celje on 13 December 1421 after an operation, was buried in the church.
