Church <strong>of</strong> the Holy Three Kings,<br />

Komin<br />

Constructed in the mid 17th century and<br />

consecrated by Bishop Martin Borković in 1669.<br />

<strong>The</strong> church interior is richly ornamented and<br />

represents a pearl <strong>of</strong> Baroque architecture. This<br />

is one <strong>of</strong> the rare churches in which the entire<br />

interior is covered with frescos and mouldings,<br />

with female and male figures as allegories <strong>of</strong><br />

the gifts <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit, and an abundance<br />

<strong>of</strong> lovely Rococo ornamentation and flowers.<br />

According to the information available, the<br />

frescos were likely to have been painted by<br />

Antun Archer in the 18th century. <strong>The</strong> church is<br />

dominated by the main altar <strong>of</strong> the Three Holy<br />

Kings, with the altar painting <strong>of</strong> the Homage<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Kings (1729), which originates from the<br />

workshop <strong>of</strong> Bishop Branjug. <strong>The</strong> altar <strong>of</strong> St.<br />

Elizabeth is particularly lovely.<br />

<strong>The</strong> church is surrounded by a walled arcade<br />

which provides shelter for pilgrims. <strong>The</strong> church<br />

stands in a lovely position over the road for<br />

Varaždin, and dominates the landscape.<br />
