At the top of the Smarna gora Hill is the Church of Mother of God with walls. Beside church is the restaurant Ledinek, where they have delicious Slovenian food. The first temple (small chapel) was mentioned in the year 1216. It was very well attended already in the 13th century. They built walls in the 15th century because of the Turkish invasions. The present church was built in the years from 1711-12, on the place where was already the Gothic church with seven altars from the year 1432. It was built in baroque style by the best builder in that time, Gregor Macek. The decoration with paintings was made in the next century. Way of the Cross is work of the Viennese painter Jozef Plank.
