The importance of the Fürnpfeil-Pfeilheimb family for Škofja Loka is, among other things, also reflected in the number of its (preserved) coats of arms: Corbinian’s in the Stara Loka church, Sigmund’s in the Škofja Loka Museum, and the coat of arms of Sigmund’s son Wolf Andreas from 1697 in the Mary Immaculate Church (preserved as part of a tombstone plaque).
Wolf Andreas (1641–1697) moved from his native Škofja Loka to Ljubljana, where he assumed the position of surcharge officer. He owned the so-called Abondi Mansion in front of the Germans’ Gate, in which he built a relatively rich library. In 1689, he was admitted to the Carniolan provincial estates, with the justification highlighting his high professionalism, noble status, and kinship ties with other noble families. Styled “the Patient” (Germ. der Geduldige) and using the motto “Labor conquers all” (Omnia vincit), he was also a member of St. Dismas Society. In his chronicle, Dolničar described Wolf Andreas as an industrious man, a voracious reader of historical and political literature, and a great lover of flowers, especially carnations. Although having long suffered from gout, he reportedly endured it with the patience of Job.
In 1679, Wolf Andreas, his brother Sigmund, and his cousin Vitus Ferdinand successfully petitioned for the improvement of the family coat of arms. Major changes were introduced in the second and third fields, which were now partitioned, featuring a knight in armor, holding a lance and a shield in his right hand.
Wolf Andreas died of gout in 1697. In his last will and testament, drawn up a month before his death, he expressed his wish to be buried in the Poor Clares Monastery in Škofja Loka. His black tombstone remained built into the Mary Immaculate Church, in front of the main altar and to the left of the presbytery until 1900, when it was transferred to the chapel below the choir, where it is still located. It bears the inscription: “Hie ligt begraben der woll edl gebohrene Herr Wolffandre Fyernpfeil von Pfeilheimb röm. kath. may.: Ober-Auffschlags-Einnehmer zu Laybach, der den 27. Dec. 1697. seines Alters 57. seeligklich entschlaffen. Gott wolle Ihm und allen Christglaubigen verleichen die ewige Ruhe!” The top section of the tombstone is graced by the new and improved version of the Fürnpfeil coat of arms from 1679.
