Unique medieval painted wooden panels by Friulian masters in ceiling of St Leonard's church, Breg ob Kokri, Preddvor, Gorenjska region, Slovenia

---

One of the best preserved medieval church interiors in Slovenia, and the only one of its kind with wooden painted panels. 30 individual scenes painted in 1470-1480 lay hidden for almost 500 years behind a false ceiling. The pictures, by Friulian masters of Senicno, and discovered in 1971, depict scenes from the life of Christ and Mary. The church, in a remote rural village, also features a triumphal arch and gilded altar. One of the original painted glass windows was stolen in recent times.
