Church of St Daniel

An obvious first stop on any tour of Celje's many churches, St Daniel's is located just beyond Glavni Trg on the southern edge of the old town. Originally built on the site of an even older church in the 13th century, while the current structure has undergone several major changes and renovations during its lifetime, it still manages to maintain its unmistakably Gothic appearance both inside and out. The church is best known for its exquisite Chapel of the Sorrowful Mother of God, which, in aside from some impressive vaulting and stained glass windows, contains a prized 15th century wooden Pietá. However, don't miss the various tombstones that can be found along the building's exterior - the assortment of angels, skulls and multi-lingual engravings is probably our favourite thing about the church.
