Here is some info on the three churches. Sheila S-K Rosalnice - Three Parishes Famous pilgrimage group of three gothic churches Tri fare (Three Parishes), where the seat of the parish of Metlika until 1461 was, when it was transmitted to Metlika itself. All three churches have preserved the one-piece presbytery with a cross-rip vault and pillars in exterior and are therefore, from the architectural point of view the most important monument of gothic architecture in Bela krajina. The oldest is the north church, from the time about 1400, dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows; in the baroquized nave the profiled gothic main portal has been preserved. The interior was decorated with pictures by the Carniolan painter J.Egartner in the first half of the 19th century. Baroque altars date from the 2.Half of the 18th century. The middle church, Ecce homo, was built at the end of the 15th century, the stall and the church tower were constructed later. The baroquized interior of the nave was decorated with pictures in 1862 by J.Tavcar from Idrija. On the exterior of the south church, dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, remains of a medieval fresco have been preserved among the butresses, in the interior, however, beside a cross vault also a gothic wall tabernacle with pinnacles. The nave was devided into three naves in the 19th century.
