Chapel of St. George

  Lijevi Štefanki     more than a year ago

One of the oldest and most valuable chapels in the Velika Gorica region, this chapel is rather well-travelled, having been transferred here early in the 18th century from another location. Its floorplan is very close in design to that of the original 17th century wooden chapels. It rests on a stone platform, the corner joints of its rustic body cut in the rough old-fashioned “Croatian” style. Atop a deep sloping roof sits a tall bell-tower covered in shingles, while the sacristry is in an added-on part at the back adding to the impression of the length of the church. The interior is furnished in an old-fashioned, rustic style and abounds in 18th century floral paintings.
