Construction of the original Monastery of the Order of Teutonic Knights at Križanke is believed to have commenced in 1228 . The 1511 Idrija earthquake severely damaged the monastery buildings and they were partly rebuilt between 1567 and 1579 . The original church was completely rebuilt in Baroque style between 1714 and 1715 ; it was designed by Venetian architect Domenico Rossi in a shape of a Greek cross , and was the first church of its kind in Slovenia . It has an ornate exterior and the gate area is accentuated with pilasters and a distinctive undulating dome . Slovene masters participated in the building process , including Gregor Maček , Sr. , who designed the current city hall . The City Museum of Ljubljana keeps the original model of this church . The Knight 's Hall was also built during the 18th century
