A short 8km journey south of the capital, the small village of Črna Vas is home to one of the most celebrated pieces of Plečnik architecture in the region. The Church of St Michael is an architectural miracle, a church built into the surrounding marshes using ingenuity and creativity, two of Plečnik’s most important attributes. Plečnik used local materials and the intricate knowledge of craftsmen in the town in order to build the church, which has grown into one of his most beloved works.
