Čardak <strong>of</strong> the Vratarić-Sukner Family,<br />

Zaklepica, Posavski Bregi<br />

<strong>The</strong> čardak is the traditional wooden house style <strong>of</strong> this area.<br />

It was built in 1782 from hand carved oak plants joined in what<br />

is called the ‘Croatian corner’, with a massive river rock placed<br />

in the foundation. <strong>The</strong> čardak is owned by the Rukavina family<br />

and is one <strong>of</strong> Croatia’s oldest and best preserved examples <strong>of</strong><br />

traditional architecture.<br />

<strong>The</strong> interior <strong>of</strong> the čardak takes us back to the olden days,<br />

with its upper earthen floors, oven and the open hearth.<br />

Church <strong>of</strong> St. Maximilian, Posavski Bregi<br />

Construction <strong>of</strong> the church was completed in 1815. <strong>The</strong> church<br />

is large and the interior vaulted. <strong>The</strong> church inventory including<br />

the Classicist reliquary <strong>of</strong> St. Maximilian and the paintings on<br />

the vaults date back to the period <strong>of</strong> construction.<br />

Though the parish was established in 1790, the construction<br />

<strong>of</strong> the parish church did not begin until the early 19th century,<br />

under the supervision <strong>of</strong> <strong>Zagreb</strong> Bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovec.<br />

<strong>The</strong> church was consecrated to St. Maximilian. <strong>The</strong> church<br />

contains a valuable collection <strong>of</strong> altar linens, handmade and<br />

donated by parishioners.<br />

the parish that was founded in 1789, making this the oldest<br />

church in the Ivanić-grad region. It was restored in 1880, as<br />

seen by the inscription on the choir balcony. <strong>The</strong> church has a<br />

valuable collection <strong>of</strong> hand-woven linens.<br />
