Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary [Crkva Uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije]
Church, ruined church, chapel, temple
Catholic
no
Built between 1736 and 1739, the church was initially dedicated to St Ladislav and in 1982 consecrated to the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a beautiful example of Baroque architecture, and the church stands as part of a complex with defensive walls with a tower at each corner, a reminder of the times of Ottoman invasions. The complex took a number of direct cannon hits from the Serbs in the recent war, rendering it badly damaged. Fortunately the foresight of Turopolje Museum staff and other brave locals means the inventory was saved. Restoration is currently in progress.
