Sažetak
The Votive Church of St Mary of Jerusalem is one of the most beautiful Baroque pilgrim churches of North Croatia. Built on a hill in Trški Vrh near Krapina, and surrounded by a circle of vaulted arcades, the church dominates the scenery. Built according to the architectonic features of the Baroque, it is a central-quatrefoil church with a long, wide sanctuary. Building finished in 1752 and in 1772 the illusionist painter Anton Joseph Lerchinger and his workshop decorated the entire interior with illusionist paintings. The dedication of the church of St. Mary of Jerusalem relates to a legend according to which in 1669 a Franciscan lay brother, Joachim, found a small statue of the Virgin Mary under some ruins in Jerusalem. A depiction of the scene is on the apse vault.
