Six-ribbed vault in the presbytery of medieval St Leonard's church, Breg ob Kokri, Preddvor, Gorenjska region, Slovenia

---

One of the best preserved medieval church interiors in Slovenia. Detailed here is the six-ribbed vault dating from the late 17th century. The church, in a remote rural village, is famous for its unique medieval painted ceiling panels, (1470-1480) discovered by chance in 1971. It also features a triumphal arch and gilded altar depicting George and the Dragon, St Leonard, and St Nicolas. Two of the original painted glass windows were stolen in recent times.
