St. Nicholas Church, Ljubljana

The yellow grey exterior of the St. Nicholas Church in Ljubljana doesn't raise any expectations. We assumed the soberness and simplicity would be matched inside. We were totally wrong. The interior of the church is covered with frescos, gold leaf, statues and organ pipes. We could easily spend a lot of time looking at each story painted on the ceiling.

De geel grijze gevel van de St. Nicholaskerk in Ljubljana wekt geen hoge verwachtingen. We gingen er van uit dat het sobere en de eenvoud binnen in de kerk weerspiegeld zou worden. Waren wij verkeerd. Het interieur van de kerk is bedolven met fresco's, bladgoud, beelden en orgelpijpen. We zouden hier lange tijd kunnen doorbrengen met het bestuderen van de schilderwerken op het plafond.
