The churches of St. Anne and St. Wolfgang at Leše near Prevalje

Abstract

The churches of St. Anne and St. Wolfgang at Leše are among the picturesque churches on Slovene territory. Nothing is known about their origin; presumably both were built in the 15^th century. The St. Anne church preserved to the present day its numerous characteristics it gained through modifications up to the end of the 17^th century, including frescoes from the 15^th and 16^th centuries, golden altar and wooden ceiling from the 17^th century. The church of St. Wolfgang had similar elements until the end of the 19^th century when it was destroyed almost entirely in a fire and later unfittingly renovated.
