Kamnik, Slovenia. The new parish church of Mary's Immaculate Conception in Šutna preserved the bell tower of the old church, which today stands independently next to the church. The initiative for construction was given in 1734 by the priest Maximilijan Leopold Rasp (1673-1742), and it was built according to the plans of the architect Gregor Maček (1701-1745). The painting of the presbytery was entrusted to the baroque painter Franc Jelovšek (1700-1764). In the church, on a special plinth made by architect Plečnik, there is also a copy of Layer's painting of the Mother of God from Brezje, created under the brush of Kamnik painter Lojze Perek (1909-1980).
