Sažetak
The paper aims to establish the stages of construction of the church of St. George on the Hill (Sveti Juraj na Bregu), which was predefined by its functional changes. The first erected filial chapel was turned into a parish church, which was then promoted into a place of pilgrimage, which had affected its successive construction and enlargements. The church with the surrounding graveyard wall was erected from 1739 to about 1747, after which the wall was built up into a porch before 1768. A significant renovation of the complex followed between 1774 and 1779 when the church was prolonged and was given a new main façade, just as was the porch on its front side. In such time sequence, it is difficult to determine the exact building stages, but we can say that the church built in the 1740s had a simple rectangular floor plan, maybe with some incorporated earlier structures, while the construction of the church extension and the new façades in the 1770s meant a qualitative upgrade of the complex, which thence gained an attractive appearance. The latter endeavor was conceived in a unique architectural project with the purpose of giving significance to a newly declared parish church and ever more visited place of pilgrimage. The design of both the church and the porch shows influences of the Styrian architectural tradition, especially those of the Stengg family building workshop in Graz, and we also find similarities in the works of the Maribor workshop lead by Joseph Hoffer and Johann Fuchs, who were also active in continental Croatia.
