Exhibited in the lapidarium are pieces of original architectural sculpture (mainly capitals and bosses) from the now rebuilt monastery church – one of the most beautiful examples of Early Gothic (later Baroquified) architecture in Slovenia. The accompanying photograph and documentary material shows the state of the architectural complex before renovation began. The renovation work is still going on today, under the supervision of the Monument Protection Institute in Ljubljana.
