Church of the Holy Spirit on Javorca was built between 1 March 1916 and 1 November 1916 in the times of Battles of the Isonzo. It was designed by Vienna's architect and lieutenant Remigius Geyling[1] an Austrian painter, who was friend of Gustav Klimt in Vienna. Construction leader was a Hungarian Geza Jablonsky. The church was built in solidarity within the 3rd mountain brigade of the Austro-Hungarian army and various workers who were there at the times of the Battles of the Isonzo.[2]. Memorial church is built mostly from wood: altar, ceiling and walls into which are engraved the names of the 2808 fallen soldiers.[3]. On the entrance door is written a latine scripture Ultra cineres hostium ira non superest (Hate should not be over the ashes of the dead).
