Sveti Jakob (Jakec)

Description of church:
A well-known and nearby excursion point for Velenje inhabitants is located on Gradišče Hill at an altitude of 528 m, on the southern edge of the Šaleška Valley.
It has two faces: on the northern side, above the Gorenje factory, it is woded, and on the southern side it is inhabited and all vineyards and orchards.
On the hill overloking the hill is the Church of St James, dating from 1583, which is considered to be the oldest church in the Šaleška valley in terms of its appearance.
Both the nave and the presbytery are still Romanesque and represent the only surviving part of the medieval Lilienberg Castle.
In addition to the marked trail, a road through Podkraj leads to the church.
From the church you have a beautiful view of Velenje and the surrounding hills.
