Parish Church <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Most Holy Trinity,<br />
Krašić<br />
<strong>The</strong> church was included in the<br />
first list <strong>of</strong> parishes <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Zagreb</strong><br />
Diocese in 1334. Remnants <strong>of</strong><br />
the late Gothic structure, later<br />
remodelled to the Baroque style<br />
in 1759, are still evident in the<br />
sanctuary and netted vaults. <strong>The</strong><br />
main altar is consecrated to the<br />
Most Holy Trinity, the left altar to<br />
the Most Holy Heart <strong>of</strong> Jesus and<br />
the right altar to St. Barbara. A new<br />
altar, consecrated to the Blessed<br />
Alojzije Stepinac, was installed in<br />
2004 and, according to his own<br />
willing, the statue <strong>of</strong> Our Lady <strong>of</strong><br />
Lourdes <strong>of</strong> the Cave, the work <strong>of</strong><br />
sculptor Mila Wood, was installed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ceiling paintings in the dome<br />
<strong>of</strong> the main nave in the sanctuary<br />
<strong>of</strong> the new church are the work <strong>of</strong><br />
painter Marko Rašica.<br />
<strong>The</strong> old Gothic church was<br />
renovated and expanded into a<br />
new central type space according<br />
to the designs <strong>of</strong> Stjepan Podhorski,<br />
an architect from the early 20th<br />
century.<br />

<strong>The</strong> organ was constructed in 1892<br />
by Mijo Heferer. <strong>The</strong> organ has 8<br />
registers, 1 manual and pedal, and<br />
is a prized piece <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Zagreb</strong><br />
Heferer workshop.<br />
Parish Church <strong>of</strong> St.<br />
Sixtus, Pribić<br />
Erected at an early Christian site;<br />
according to some records, it was<br />
already built by 925. <strong>The</strong> medieval<br />
structure, covered subtly by the<br />
Baroque vaults with arches, can still<br />
be felt in the restored church.<br />
<strong>The</strong> church is one <strong>of</strong> the oldest<br />
sacral structures that belonged to<br />
the <strong>Zagreb</strong> Kaptol. Archdeacon<br />
Ivan Gorički mentioned the church<br />
in the list <strong>of</strong> parish churches <strong>of</strong><br />
1334. It was torched in the Turkish<br />
conquests in 1643. <strong>The</strong> exterior<br />
exudes a medieval feeling. <strong>The</strong><br />
church is marked by the polygonal<br />
bell-tower that, despite its more<br />
recent construction in 1653, repeats<br />
the characteristic shapes <strong>of</strong> the<br />
medieval structure. In 1732, the side<br />
Chapel <strong>of</strong> Our Lady was added and<br />
fully completed in 1759.<br />
Pribić is the birthplace <strong>of</strong> Cardinal<br />
Franjo Kuharić, and this is the<br />
church where he practiced his faith.<br />
