The Cultural Heritage of Zagreb County

Church of Our Lady of Dol, Dol
The church was erected by patron of the Pribić parish, Petar Zrinski, on the Zrinski lands. Since 1668, this church has been listed among
the canonical visitations. In 1740, parish priest Miha Šegina began the construction of today’s church.
The Baroque altar was erected in 1753, bearing the statue of the Madonna with Child, from the old church inventory. The main altar
and side chapels (1767) were created by an unknown travelling master. The altars and Rococo pulpit (1767) are among Croatia’s most
valuable church inventory of the 18th century. The wall paintings are particularly charming; they illustrate the tales of Mary’s miracles,
set in scenes of the everyday life of the people of the day, at work or at rest, in the clothing of the time. Scenes from the life of St. Isidore
and St. Notburga are depicted on the folk costumes.
As a child, Alojzije Stepinac made pilgrimages to this sanctuary with his mother Barbara; this was also a favourite church of Cardinal
Franjo Kuharić.

The organ has six registers, without a pedal, and uses a perforated mechanism. It was built by Celje master Antun Scholz in about 1782.
The instrument was successfully restored in the Heferer workshop. With its exceptional Rococo organ case, it is one of the loveliest
organs of the 18th century.
Greek Catholic Church of the Annunciation of Mary, Strmec Pribićki
This neo-Byzantine church, constructed in 1911, was commissioned by Bishop Julije Drohobecky and built on the designs of Stjepan
Podhorski. The Baroque manor of the Greek Catholic bishopric and the church form a harmonious entity that blends in beautifully with
the landscape. The central structure is covered with a dome, and the interior is fantastically adorned.
Strmec Pribićki was first mentioned as an estate in 1441. For a time, it was under the possession of Ban Petar Zrinski, and later was
purchased by the Marča Greek Catholic Bishop Pavao Zorčić in 1682.
In 1942, a Greek Catholic parish was established here. In commemoration of the signing of the Marča Treaty in 1611, uniting the
Christians of the Eastern-Rites with the Catholic Church, this Greek Catholic church consecrated to the Annunciation of Mary was
erected on this small, artificial island.
Complex of the Greek Catholic Rectory,
Strmec Pribički
The estate of the Greek Catholic Eparchy has stood at the
southern gates to the Žumberak region, along the road from
Krašić to Pribić since 1678. The estate includes a Baroque
castle with portal from 1751 that houses the rectory, which
was adapted in 1910 according to designs by the architect
Podhorski. At this time, the chapel was also added. The entire
complex, with the castle, includes the single-story outbuilding
with its steep roof, the old residential building (manor style)
and the Greek Catholic Church of the Annunciation of Mary,
situated on a small island in the midst of the park. The church
was built in 1911 in the neo-Byzantine style. The complex as a
whole has great historical, artistic and ambient value.
