Abstract

The complex of buildings, located at the church of St Primoz above Kamnik, was inspected to discover wooden constructions suitable for dendrochronological investigation. Wooden constructions that were part of the church of Sts Primoz. and Felicijan church and its west tower, the separately standing bell tower, the beadle's house, and the church of St Peter were investigated. Timber from the Marian chapel and the storehouse was unsuitable for dendrochronology. The investigations were made on wooden cores taken from the constructions and processed in accordance with standard dendrochronological methods. The roof construction of the main nave of Sts Primoz. and Felicijan is made of silver fir and dates from 1848. The Norway spruce from the outer wall of the beadle.s house dates from 1760. The larch wood from the tower near the Sts Primoz and Felicijan church dates from 1494. The spruce from the roof construction of St Peter's dates from 1499. The timber from the bell tower remained undated. The results of dendrochronological dating were compared to reports on the time of possible construction and reconstructions of the buildings. The dates of the timber construction of the Sts Primoz and Felicijan church and the nearby tower were not men - tioned in any of the studied sources. The dates of the beadle.s house and the church of St Peter confirm and supplement the reports in archived documents.
