Church of Our Lady of Rašelje, Zlarin

The Church of Our Lady of Rašelje stands on the island of Zlarin, in the City of Šibenik, in Šibenik-Knin County. It is about a kilometre from the settlement, at the start of the field, so it makes a lovely destination for an easy walk through the island landscape.

According to archival data, the first news of the church comes from the first half of the 15th century. In the Baroque period, at the beginning of the 18th century, it was rebuilt, and in the 19th century it was repaired. It is a single-nave building of regular orientation, built of stone. The apse is plastered on the outside, and the nave and apse are covered by a gabled wooden roof with channel tiles. The main facade of large regular ashlar blocks has a portal, and above it a richly decorated stone rose window. The facade ends in a triangular gable, from which rises a bell gable for two bells. According to the list of confraternity members, the main altar was built in 1767 by Pio dell'Acqua.

The church is a protected cultural property, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-3328.
