The Cultural Heritage of Zagreb County

Parish Church of St. Anastasia, Samobor
The church was constructed from 1671–1675 by Hans Allio from Celje, who freely combined
stylist elements from the Gothic to the Baroque.
The wall murals were painted in 1897 by Marko Antonini. The church contains seven altars
and inventory from the end of the 19th century. The stained glass windows date back to
the early 20th century. The church is a rare and interesting structure in the Mannerist style.
The parish church was first mentioned with this name in 1334. Today’s structure was
modelled after the Jesuit Church of St. Catharine in Zagreb. The layout repeats the typical
Jesuit structure, with a characteristic single open space. The main area expands outwards,
and the sides are transformed into a series of chapels.

Chapel of St. Michael, Taborec
32 Samobor
The chapel stands in the settlement of Taborec on the slope of the Tepec hill, just
under the Samobor Old Town. The chapel was originally a medieval structure, one
of the oldest in the Samobor region, which was later given a Baroque appearance.
It was erected in the 16th century, and later adapted and restored by the end of the
17th century.
The land the chapel was built on was partially levelled and walled. On the western
side, it is fenced by a stone wall with stone entrance portal with wrought iron gates.
A choir was installed in the western part of the nave, and is accessed from the
exterior, from a path at the same height of the choir, via a covered bridge. Several
Gothic elements have been preserved inside the church, including the body and
layout, the profiled stone door and window frames, boxes and other details.
During the Baroque renovations, the valuable Baroque main altar and two side altars
were added. A stone tombstone, with a relief depicting the Crucifixion from 1589,
was installed on the southern wall of the sanctuary. The chapel is an exceptional
example of Gothic sacral architecture, as only a few have been preserved in the
Samobor area. Later renovations gave it a Baroque appearance.
