The Church of the Ascension (Župnijska cerkev Gospodovega vnebohoda) in Bogojina was built in the 1920s according to plans by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. The locals call the building Plečnik’s Church or White Dove (bela golobica). [German]
Ascension Church in Bogojina
The church in its current form was built in the years 1924 – 1927 instead of a single-nave Baroque church. The building is characterized by its cylindrical bell tower, whose columns, visible from afar, are reminiscent of an antique building.
Inside Bogojina’s Ascension Church, the mix of familiar and unusual elements is repeated. The ceiling is decorated with works of art made in the potteries of the Prekmurje region.
