Bukovščica (pronounced as /sl/; 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 painted by Janez Gosar (1830–1887).[5] 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.[6]
