The church of St. Michael the Archangel was first mentioned in 1545 as a branch of Kri\u017eevci, although it is much older. Sixty years later it was burnt down by the Turks and a new wooden church was built on another location around 1617. The current church was completed in 1726 and contains a high altar from the second quarter of the 18th century and two side altars dating to 1884.<\/p>\n

The Church of St. Michael the Archangel is a fine example of Baroque architecture, also significant for its location in the centre of the market town.<\/p>\n

Passing through the polished terracotta portal (1957), you enter the groin-vaulted bell tower (the space below the bell tower), where stone steps lead up past a window with the famous year on the choir stalls. A rectangular stone portal leads into the church itself. The nave is covered by a vaulted ceiling with three pairs of pendentives and four balustrades, all resting on double pilasters with moulded capitals. The brick choir rests on two Tuscan columns and three groin vaults.<\/p>\n

The nave opens into the chancel through a semicircular, articulated triumphal arch. The presbytery is vaulted with a pair of buttresses and a three-sided finial resting on the same pilasters as the nave.
\nThe church is 20 metres long, 6 metres wide and 10 metres high.<\/p>\n

The entire interior is decorated with figurative paintings by Felix Barazzutti from Graz, dating from 1884.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
