The place is almost always closed and the Mary showing there is just a statue. Mary never really visited this place and probably never will, it's all fake :/ you even have to stand outside of the church if you want to view the city. Go 50 meters away instead and enjoy the beauty of Ivan Cankar's (Slovene author who did visit the plsce msny many times) statue and treat yourself to some nice refreshing and free drinkable water from the pipe.

A branch church of the Ljubljana parish of St. Peter. Janez Vajkard Valvasor in Slava vojvodina Kranjska (1689) writes that the church of Our Lady had three altars: the large one was dedicated to the patroness of the church, and the side one to the birth of Christ and St. John the Baptist. Between 1740 and 1746, a new Baroque building was built on the site of the originally Gothic, enlarged pilgrimage church in the middle of the 17th century under the leadership of the builder Abondio Donino: the church was vaulted in 1741, and consecrated on August 13, 1747. The authorship of the plans for it is attributed to the architect Candido Zulliani , and the architect Matija Persky may also have participated in the completion of the church's exterior. The stonemason Franc Grumnik took care of bržkone for joinery until 1744, and after that year he was succeeded by the stonemason Lodovico Bombasi, who paved the church. A year before the consecration, the painter Valentin Metzinger painted three altar paintings: the lost painting of Mary with Jesus carried by angels, under which the church on Rožnik with pilgrims was depicted (1746), in the throne of the high altar was later replaced by the painting Mary's Visitation by Juri Šubica from approx. 1887–88 (in the altar there is now a copy from 1944, and the original is kept in the Franciscan monastery in Ljubljana). Metzinger's picture of St. Cosmas and Damian (sign. and dat. V. M. / 1746), which was in the throne of the left altar, is kept in the Franciscan monastery in Ljubljana, his painting of St. Today, Mary Magdalene is in the throne of the right altar. During the Josephine reforms, the church was closed in 1785, and the building suffered great damage during the French bombardment of Ljubljana in 1809, so it was emptied at that time and the equipment was stored at the church of St. Peter. At the request of the surrounding municipalities, the church was reopened in 1814, and the original equipment was partially returned, as Metzinger's student, the painter Janez Potočnik, "restored" the altarpiece of St. Mary Magdalene (sign. and date Pototschnig 1818). The building was also thoroughly repaired in 1823, and the most changed was the facade with a new pilaster division of the wall. In 1826, the church was administered by the Franciscans, and ten years later it became a Franciscan branch and received today's patronage of the Visitation of Mary. Towards the end of the 19th century, the Franciscans thoroughly renovated the interior of the church. In the years 1887, 1892 and 1895, the stonemason's workshop of Feliks Toman made three new altars and a pulpit in the Neo-Renaissance style. Four wooden, white polychromed baroque statues from the middle of the 18th century were placed on the side altars, and the Way of the Cross, a work by Janez Potočnik from 1802, was hung on the walls of the nave.

Well, true Slovene experience... we do have a small church on almost every second hill; so this is the first kind of hill next to the capital city. WE ALWAYS HAVE HERE MAJOR EVENT FOR 1 OF MAY. Good for tourists to visit first true Slovene hiking spot next to Ljubljana... not much to see (that's why I don't come here so often😉) but a good restaurant under the hill and some caffe under the church... Meni kot Ljubljančanu nič posebnega ...

Part of beautiful Park Tivoli, Rožnik. It takes an easy walk from centre towards the church. Great to visit during summer to cool down a bit. Next to the church is a nice bar with good food, drinks and benches to sit/eat outside. Definitely try their "flancet".

Lovely walk to the Roznik Hill. You can basically choose your own path up the hill. I would recommend to not follow the main road, which can get crowded in weekends. Follow the smaller paths throughout the park and you'll get to the Roznik Hill eventually. There's a lovely view, although a lot of trees will unfortenately block your view. A lot of Slovenes use the park for a short Sunday walk.

Roznik is just the best. Havent been to church yet. Roznik is my morning routine for jogg or walk. Lovely gostilna on the top with great variety of food for lunch. Also must try their flancat.

A very pretty church, but no entry at the moment. Thus may be due to COVID

Beautiful hike to a beautiful church :)

Really nice walk from the park! There is a restaurant with a great view, toilets and water fountains around.

You don't need to drive out of Ljubljana to take a walk in nature. From Tivoli there is a nice path through the forest to Roznik.When you get to the hill you have a nice view of the city. In the inn Roznik , you can order homemade tea that they make themselves. Very refreshing.

Iconic location above the city, venue to local events.

A very beautiful church in a wonderful location
