The history of the Ptujska Gora pilgrimage church goes far back. According to folk tradition, the first church in honour of the Mother of God was built here as early as the 13th century. With certainty, however, we may say that the three-nave Gothic church stood here at the end of the 14th century. It was built by the Counts of Celje in honour of “Our Dear Lady”.
The parish church, once one of the largest mother parishes in Styria, where in 1428 Countess Veronika of Desenice of Celje was temporarily buried, is undoubtedly the oldest and most renowned building in Braslovče.
Once a picturesque little church, first mentioned in a charter from 1229, today it is a stately parish church offering a picturesque view over the entire area of Andraž nad Polzelo. The origins of this church are linked both to the landowners of Polzela and to the Counts of Celje.
The Church of St. Maximilian, which stands opposite the bus station, is dedicated to the legendary Celje native Bishop Maximilian, who is said to have met a violent death on this spot in the year 283.
The parish church of St Margaret was built not far from Heilenstein Castle, in the present-day centre of Polzela, and is first mentioned in 1255. The owners of the castle from the Heilenstein lineage also expanded their estates in connection with the estates of the Counts of Celje. The original church was Romanesque. In 1263 it became a commandery church, as attested by the relief of the Maltese cross on the ceiling of the presbytery.

The church lies in the eastern part of the settlement on a raised terrace. Steps lead up to it on the western side. The original Gothic church was built in 1465-1480. Parts of it were reused when the church was remodelled at the end of the 17th century. In the 19th century the church was rebuilt and refurnished. In 1857 a bell tower was added to the church. The bell tower is of the Aquileian type, but covered with a stone onion-pyramid roof. The high altar of St Hermagoras and Fortunatus, made of marble and inlaid, imitates Baroque columned altars.
The first historical record of the church dates from 1256; the greatest treasure of the church is undoubtedly the statue of the Mother of God with the Child from 1320.
