St. Joseph's Church was built right up along the River Drava's bank, making it a beautiful spot to worship and bask in the stunning nature that Maribor has to offer. Mention of St. Joseph's dates back to 1675, with some sources claiming that it was built in memory of those lost in a devastating plague. Later, it became one of the bustling parts of the city, with it being especially popular on St. Joseph's day where pilgrims would buy and sell wooden pieces.
