Despite the county’s diversity, it is possible to distinguish two fundamental cultural landscapes: the lowland region of northwestern Croatia (Turopolje, Posavina and Pokuplje) and the mountainous region (Žumberak, Samoborsko gorje and Prigorje). These are two spatial entities, based on the natural landscape and relief, the historical, cultural and traditional characteristics, the type and form of settlements, the type of traditional architecture and the characteristic architectural styles and details. The churches and chapels, with their tall spires, erected on plateaus above the settlements have special symbolic meaning. Through their isolation, they offer an opportunity to become acquainted with the original, local forms of cultural and historical construction. Meanwhile, their interiors are places of peace and house a wealth of sacral treasures. They draw attention to themselves with the beauty of their many altars, frescos, paintings, statues and stained glass windows. However, the most valuable artefacts within are certainly the organs, the main instrument of religious life. The mountainous relief and the border position of the county resulted in the construction of many fortified citadels. With the cessation of conflicts came the desire for a greater showcase quality and greater living comfort, and at this time, numerous castles and manor houses were erected in the lowland areas. Many of the stories and legends of that time attract visitors even today. The rich cultural heritage of this region provides visitors with countless possibilities. This thematic brochure gives an insight into the cultural history of Zagreb County: its sacral entities, castles, manor houses and cultural institutions. It also aims to stimulate guests to include some of the structures listed within in a future visit to and walk through Zagreb County. A lively and interesting past awaits you! 7 Publikacija_ivana_zadnje.indd 7 7.7.2009 9:56:25 Dugo Selo 8 Dugo Selo Publikacija_ivana_zadnje.indd 8 7.7.2009 9:56:26 Parish Church of St. Martin, Dugo Selo The church was erected in 1900, according to the designs by Herman Bollé. It was constructed in the neo-Gothic style, and due to its similarities to the Zagreb Cathedral, it is often called the “little cathedral”. The image of St. Martin is on the main altar, together with statues of St. Nicholas and St. Augustine. The four side altars are dedicated to St. Vitus, St. Joseph, the Mother of God and the Heart of Jesus. All altars are constructed of wood. The interior is ornamented by stained glass windows by Josip Biffel, an academic painter, with motives of the annunciation, the birth of Jesus, the crucifixion, the resurrection and others. The two-tower organ is the work of master organ builders Heferer and Son who were from Zagreb – it originates from the turn of the 20th century. A large rosette window made of colourful stained glass dominates between the two organ towers. Info: Dugo Selo parish office, tel: +385 1 2750 207 The pipe organ, with 8 registers, 1 manual (keyboard) and pedal board, was built by the Heferer company in about 1900. The organ was restored in 1958 and received a pneumatic register. It is still in use. Church of St. Martin, Martin Breg The oldest visible aboveground remnants of the structure date back to the 16th century. It is assumed that an older Church of St. Martin stood at this location, and this church was first mentioned in 1209. It was owned by the order of the Templar knights. Already in the 13th century, the House of St. Martin, the seat of the Templar Preceptory, stood next to the church. Later, this was taken over by the knight’s order of the Iohannites. The most significant archaeological finding is that of the stone tombstones dating back to the 13th century. The sculpture of St. Martin, standing on a plateau in front of the church, is the work of Josip Cikač. Miniature copies are an official souvenir of Dugo Selo.

A report from the 17th century tells of its poor state at that time and it was finally torn down in 1775. The new parish church is a typical late Baroque structure of the Classicist style, richly ornamented with frescos on the arches and walls. The church interior was painted in the lavish Historicist style at the start of the 20th century by Leonardo Marotti. The paintings express the style of that time, while also showing equal influence from the Gothic, Baroque, Rococo, Classicist and Jugendstil periods. Info: Ivanić-Grad parish office, tel: +385 1 2889 030 The valuable pipe organ, with 14 registrars, 2 manuals and pedal, is the work of Antonin Mölzer from Kutna Hora. The organ is characterised by the lovely resonance with a strong, romantic softness. 10 Ivanić-Grad Publikacija_ivana_zadnje.indd 10 7.7.2009 9:56:29 Čardak of the Vratarić-Sukner Family, Zaklepica, Posavski Bregi The čardak is the traditional wooden house style of this area. It was built in 1782 from hand carved oak plants joined in what is called the ‘Croatian corner’, with a massive river rock placed in the foundation. The čardak is owned by the Rukavina family and is one of Croatia’s oldest and best preserved examples of traditional architecture. The interior of the čardak takes us back to the olden days, with its upper earthen floors, oven and the open hearth.

The church inventory including the Classicist reliquary of St. Maximilian and the paintings on the vaults date back to the period of construction. Though the parish was established in 1790, the construction of the parish church did not begin until the early 19th century, under the supervision of Zagreb Bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovec. The church was consecrated to St. Maximilian. The church contains a valuable collection of altar linens, handmade and donated by parishioners.

It was erected at the end of the 15th century by Ban Matija Gereb and was in the possession of the Erdödy family from the early 16th century until 1922. Over time, additions were made to the castle, and the original rectangular structure was reinforced with two rounded towers. The inner courtyard is lined with arcades and Baroque pillars and has outstanding acoustics. The plaque to the left of the entrance was installed in 1592 by Ban Tomo Erdödy, son of the original owner Petar Erdödy, who held the estate from 1519 to 1567. The castle is surrounded by a lovely park, which today is a favourite promenade. Oršić Castle, Slavetić The castle of Count Oršić stands on the top of the hill opposite the Parish Church of St. Anthony the Hermit (1600), in the midst of the gentle, green Slavetić hills, with their colourful orchards, vineyards and flowery meadows.
