History[]
The Church was built in 1828[5] based on the R. Battigelli project from 1819. It was built in baroque building style.[3]
In 1944, during World War II, it was demolished by the Ustashe damaging roof structure, vault, interior and church inventory.[6] After the War, ruins remained standing. In 1970, the reconstruction of these valuable buildings began, but the roof, unfortunately, was never set up.[4]
On 4 June 2017, Bishop of Upper Karlovac Gerasim visited the church.[7] Also, the Bishop visited the church on 16 June 2019.[8]
