The Franciscan Monastery and Church of the Holy Trinity [Franjevački samostan i crkva Presvetog Trojstva]

The Franciscan Monastery  and  Church of the Holy Trinity
Located on the main square, construction of this church began in 1580. The lay clergy led prayers until the arrival of the Franciscans in 1641. It was then that the General Vuk Frankopan pleaded with King Ferdinand III for permission to build a monastery, which was granted the following year, with construction beginning in 1658. Altars inside the church were dedicated to St George, St Anthony and St Nicholas. In 1683 General Josip Herberstein erected the church tower. In 1692 a fire greatly damaged the church and adjacent monastery, burning all altars and part of the tower. Renovations were finally completed in 1705. In 1987 in a section of the monastery, Fr.Tomislav Tomiš placed a rich collection of sacrosanct art. Visiting is possible by prior arrangement on the number above.
