This church is located in the picturesque village of Galičnik (Galichnik) on Mount Bistra.  This church dedicated to the Apostles Peter and Paul was built in 1930.  Galičnik is famous for its annual Wedding Festival (Galička Svadba)  and the church plays a prominent role.  In the first gallery below are pictures of a wedding ceremony that was part of the Galičnik Wedding.
