Bukovščica (pronounced [ˈbuːkɔu̯ʃtʃitsa]; previously Klemen or Sveti Klemen,[2] German: Sankt Clementis[3]) is a village in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
The local church is dedicated to Saint Clement.[4] Its rectangular nave indicates Romanesque origins, but the church was rebuilt several times. There is a fresco of Saint Christopher on the south wall of the sanctuary. Some of the frescoes were painted by Jernej of Loka. The main altar dates to 1851 and the Stations of the Cross are by Leopold Layer.[5]
