Chapel of St. John the Baptist

  Buševac     more than a year ago

A dark wood chapel with a mushroom- shaped spire, set a tiny churchyard shaded by yew. The chapel is not in the best state of repair, but the mossy shade and the quiet lend a most pleasing air. Architecturally it most interesting, having inspired the building of many chapels in Turopolje. The dates on the bell and a chalice indicate this church has been standing since 1662. Like all of the wooden chapels several reconstructions have been necessary, but in this case some very old features are still visible. The interior is beautifully decorated with rustic paintings but also in desperate need of restoration.
