            Plečnik’s Place between Religious Cultures


            Abstrakt
            The Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik is known both for his ardent Roman Catholic religiosi

            work for the Czechoslovak president, liberal religious thinker President Masaryk. Less att
            paid to the question how these two religious cultures were compatible in his worldviews an
            reflection. We search for the answer primarily with the help of Plečnik’s correspondence w

            personalities belonging to the Slovenian, the Austrian and the Czech culture, as well as w
            of the memoirs of Plečnik’s pupils and friends. The solution is offered by an analogy to P

            architectonical work. His work is based on the principles and motifs of Greek and Roman ar

            his religious worldview is based on beliefs and social stereotypes (and prejudices) of the

            Catholic milieu, but again, these elements are freely adapted and combined with other, “he
            motifs. This internal freedom makes Plečnik’s enthusiasm plausible both for the Catholic C
            the “anti-Catholic” President Masaryk. Although Plečnik declares himself to be an artist a

            rooted in traditions – in practice, he creates and thinks as a typically “modern”, individ
            religiosus”.
