Cerkev sv. Mihaela v Črni vasi na Barju je ena najbolj izvirnih stavb arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika (1937–1940). Zaradi mehkih barjanskih tal stoji na več kot stotih lesenih pilotih. Zunanjost zaznamuje preplet podpeškega marmorja in opeke, ločen zvonik pa stoji na odprtih lokih. Zaradi pomanjkanja sredstev je notranjost opremljena z lesom, keramiko in unikatno izkoriščenimi vsakdanjimi predmeti. Cerkev je uvrščena na Seznam svetovne dediščine Unesco. Z nastankom je povezana zgodba o Plečnikovi iznajdljivosti. Projekt je prevzel na željo nečaka, župnika Karla Matkoviča, a sta se soočala s hudo denarno stisko. Arhitekt je Barjane pozval k darovanju materiala ter ustvarjalno uporabil poceni surovine. Notranje stebre so tako izdelali iz navadnih smrekovih debel, ki so jih zgladili domačini sami. /// Church of St. Michael in Črna Vas in the Ljubljana Marshes is one of Jože Plečnik’s most original works (1937–1940). Built on over a hundred wooden piles due to the marshy soil, it features a blend of local Podpeč marble and brick, with a bell tower set upon open arches. Budget constraints led to an interior crafted from wood, ceramics, and repurposed everyday objects. Today, it is a recognized UNESCO World Heritage site. A famous story highlights Plečnik's resourcefulness. He took on the design for his nephew, priest Karel Matkovič, but faced severe financial shortages. The architect encouraged locals to donate materials and inventively used humble resources. The interior pillars were crafted from simple spruce trunks donated by villagers, who smoothed the wood themselves.
