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 />
