The building of the chapel of the Holy Sepulcher at the Franciscan monastery in Kamnik was finished in 1954. The design has been made by the important Slovenian architect Plečnik. The unique complex is filled with art and symbolism. The chapel was meant to function as a oratory and for honoring the Holy Sepulcher.
The Church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is a reconstruction of 1734 (fires and earthquakes destroyed previous churches). The free-standing bell tower belongs to the original Gothic church, which was here as early as 1207.
St. Peter's Church is the fourth sacred building to stand here. The present church was built between 1750 and 1755 in Renaissance style. The church was then renovated several times, the last time from 2003 to 2005.
Although the church of St. Neže has Romanesque origins, the church got its present exterior around 1879. Above the sacristy, there is a bell tower with one of the oldest bells in Gorenjska dating from 1423. On the outer facade of the church, there is a fragment of a late Gothic fresco depicting the patron saint of pilgrims, St. Christopher, and a Romanesque semicircular window.
