St. Rok’s Church

St. Rok’s Church, the central point of the Calvary, was built gradually, but 1646 is considered its year of establishment, as confirmed by the inscription above the sacristy door. The church features typical rural architecture of its time, with Gothic-style pointed windows and a massive exterior. Its interior, however, surprises visitors with rich artistic furnishings and a pronounced Baroque style, creating a contrast with the exterior that evokes a sense of majesty and spiritual depth.

OPENING HOURS: The Calvary is open at all times, while St. Rok’s Church is open by prior arrangement.
