Whilst not entirely open to the public, the Franciscan Monastery is well worth a visit when in Kamnik. The monastery and church truly pay homage to the history of the town, be it the periods of upheaval in the 16th century or the horrors of World War Two. There is a monastic chapel dedicated to the memory of the lives lost in the First World War, as well as the Holy Grave, designed by ultra-architect Jože Plečnik. In fact the renovation in 1956 was one of his final works. The library might be the standout however, founded in 1627 but containing books published long before then.
