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 />
