For those wondering why the walls. In case of bandit (or enemy) raid, bell was rung. People then run towards the church as to the biggest solid building in the vicinity. So the walls protected people, wisdom, books and because the monks often understood the medicine, they could also start treating whoever was wounded.

Why does a church need a protective wall? Won't God protect?

Slovenia is the best kept secret in Europe, don’t tell anybody off her beauties and keep the secret safe

People forget that in medieval times churches / orders were literally only actuall keepers of knowledge in Europe and that's where majority of people who could read and write lived, also a lot of gold / valuables.... Soo yeah in their place i would take a wall as well when when you live close to the villiage where all its inhabitants cant even write their name with piss on the snow.

When the budget for the wall is more expensive than what it suppose to be protected

With the Muslim influx in Europe, churches are going to start needing walls again

And as everything in Slovenia there is nothing to do ... you can't sit down and order a cup of coffee ... everything is locked up ... no tour guide to explain some crap in brief 15 minutes .... this looks good only from a drone footage.

Nothing out of religion is worth anything, religion is the biggest scam to human life.
