St. Bartholomew's Parish Church, Parish church in Kočevje, Slovenia.

St. Bartholomew's is a Neo-Romanesque church built between 1900 and 1903, featuring carefully crafted architectural details and twin bell towers. The structure stands near the Rinža River and dominates the town center.

A chapel of St. Bartholomew, enlarged into a church, was documented in Kočevje in 1363 and became the parish church that year. The present building replaced a Baroque church dedicated to Sts. Fabian and Sebastian, which held its last Mass in June 1900. Built from 1901 to 1903 to plans by Viennese architect Friedrich von Schmidt, revised by August Kirstein, it was consecrated in July 1903 by Prince-Bishop Anton Bonaventura Jeglič.

The church keeps works by named Slovenian artists: Peter Železnik painted the interior decoration, Slavko Pengov the apse and Stations of the Cross, Ivan Zalar carved the relief of Christ and angels in the lunette above the entrance, and Stane Jarm made the statue of St. Bartholomew for the parish's 600th anniversary in 1993.

The church stands on the right bank of the Rinža, next to the bridge in the old walled town centre. It is a working parish church, so time visits outside Mass and parish events. The main entrance is at the twin-tower façade; the interior is entered from there.

The church's organ, built in 1929 by Franc Jenko of Šentvid pri Ljubljani, was among the largest in the former Yugoslavia. Its organ case was designed in 1927 by architect Ivan Vurnik. Behind a metal door in the choir cabinet are three chalices; the middle one holds a relic, possibly the heart of a deceased duke.
