Our Lady of Lourdes Basilica, Brestanica, Minor basilica in Brestanica, Slovenia

Our Lady of Lourdes Basilica is a three-naved church with a transept and a twin-tower facade in Brestanica, built in Romanesque Revival style to designs by Hans Pascher. The stained glass windows were made by Neuhauser Dr. Jele & C. of Innsbruck and installed in 1910. The interior was painted in 1911.

Construction began in 1908, the 50th anniversary of the Lourdes apparitions, and the church was consecrated on 2 July 1914 by Prince Bishop Mihael Napotnik. On that same day, the assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand's train passed through Brestanica. Pope Pius XI elevated it to minor basilica on 8 June 1929.

The church is also called Slovenski Lurd (Slovenian Lourdes) because funds were collected from Slovenians at home and abroad through the Church Building Society of Our Lady of Lourdes, founded in 1901. The first and largest gift was the land donated by local resident Ana Korban for the church and parish house.

The basilica stands in the centre of Brestanica, a short distance from Krško, and is the largest church in the Posavje region. Visitors enter through the main portal beneath the twin towers; the interior is laid out as three naves with a transept, so the high altar is visible from the central aisle. The parish of Brestanica serves the church, and its office is the place to ask about access outside service times.

The church was built with contributions from Slovenes at home and abroad, which earned it the name Slovenski Lurd, Slovenian Lourdes. Its five bells once included a great bell of 6,200 kg; the wartime requisition left three iron bells in the tower.
