Church of St John Nepomuk, Lučko

The parish Church of St John Nepomuk is located in Lučko, in the City of Zagreb. It is of interest to lovers of Baroque architecture, because interesting vault forms and frescoes have been preserved in it.

The church was built in 1769 as a single-nave Baroque building with a rounded sanctuary apse. A sacristy is attached on its north side, and the bell tower stands on the axis of the main façade. The sanctuary is narrower and lower than the main nave, and is closed by a polygonal outer wall. Canopy vaults, resting on pilasters with richly profiled capitals, divide the main nave into two bays. The vault of the sanctuary and the vault of the apse are decorated with frescoes. The parapet of the choir gallery is wavy in shape and rests on stone columns connected by three elliptical arches, and above the vaulted sacristy there is an oratory.

The church is a protected cultural good and is entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-714.
