Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Loreto, Lučko

In Stupnik, in the Zagreb settlement of Lučko, right next to the parish church stands the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Loreto. A cemetery extends on its north side. It is a modest single-nave building with a semicircular sanctuary end, a sacristy by the southwest wall and a bell tower placed on the axis of the main façade.

The oldest part is the sanctuary, narrower and lower than the nave, covered by cross vaults on pilasters; it was built in 1745. In the middle of the 19th century the church was extended to the northwest, as evidenced by an inscription on the keystone of the entrance portal with the year 1851.

The church is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-713.
