St. George's Church, Ptuj

St. George's Church features Renaissance and Baroque gravestones on its exterior walls, while its interior displays paintings spanning from the 13th to 15th centuries.

Originally constructed in the 12th century, the church underwent significant Gothic redesign during the 15th century and received Provost status in 1863.

The late 14th-century choir stalls inside the church exhibit detailed animal motifs, representing medieval craftsmanship and religious symbolism of the period.

The church stands near the Monument of Orpheus and Town Tower, making it easily accessible for visitors exploring Slovenski trg in central Ptuj.

A carved relief of the Epiphany from 1515 and the restored three-winged Laib Altar from 1460 represent exceptional medieval artworks within the church.
