Description

The church has marble altar with picture of Lady with Jesus in arms. The picture was probably procured in the 18th century in Venice by Filip Grabovac.

It has few statues: statue of Saints Peter and Paul, statue of Saint Anthony, statue of Saint Anne and statue of Sacred Heart.

History

The church was built from 1876 till 1898, when it was dedicated. [1]

During the Croatian War of Independence, statues of Saints Peter and Paul were damaged, because Serbs obtruncate heads.

gollark: Using relatively general-purpose hardware is quite useful right now since the details of how to do things aren't that pinned down yet and being able to experiment is valuable.

gollark: They're not replicating the actual implementation very much. They do seem to be replicating the rough functionality.
gollark: They also do not actually perfectly remember things (or "form new memories" at all after training) unless you glue some kind of external memory retrieval on.
