Celje Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Celje, Slovenia.

The cathedral features a three-aisled nave with a flat roof and ceilings decorated with 15th-century frescoes depicting Biblical scenes and religious figures.

Constructed in 1306 on the site of a former 12th-century basilica, the cathedral received its rib-vaulted roof in 1379 and underwent modifications until the 16th century.

The Gothic chapel of Mater Dolorosa, added in 1413, houses a carved wooden Pietà that represents the main artistic treasure of the cathedral.

The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours, allowing visitors to examine the medieval gravestones on both interior and exterior walls.

The presbytery contains the monument of Hermann von Cilli, the 39th bishop of Freising, who died in Celje in 1421 after consecrating the Mater Dolorosa chapel.
