Abstract:      The paper presents the overview of the church architecture on the territory of the Maribor Lavantine diocese from the transfer of the diocese seat in Maribor (1859) to the reorganisation of the borders of the diocese on the Slovene territory (2006), stressing the main stylistic trends, architects and monuments. The sacral buildings of the mentioned period are fairly diversifed, but the 150 year long period can nevertheless be divided into three shorter periods: the period leading up to the First World War, the prevailing trend being historicism, the period between the wars, the typical characteristic of this period are the beginnings of the modern architecture, especially in relation to the Plečnik School, and the period after the Second World War, when the clauses of the Vatican Council II signifcantly infuenced the concept of the new sacral buildings
