Medieval Properties in Poljana, Đurđic and Trema near Križevci Territory
Ranko Pavleš
Abstract
The paper describes the eight medieval es¬tates to the east of the stream Glogovnica and to the south and south-east of Križevci.The Poljana estate was located on the territory of the present village of the same name.A few descriptions of borders and one small-size property connected with the Hospice of St Kuzma and Damian in Čazma have been analysed. According to the au-thor the Prašnica estate was near Poljana, as well as Bedovec, which had very close connections with Prašnica. There was a 16th-century-castle in Prašnica.The paper then follows the docu¬ments about the property called Zdenčec with St. Michael's Church. These could have been located somewhere around Cirkvena, but some documents place them around Poljana. The Lemeš-Sveti Juraj(George) estate was owned by Zagreb bishops in late Middle Ages, although it was mentioned even earlier, in the 13th century.
St George's Church in Glogovnica (mentioned in some medieval sources) could well have been the church dedicated to the same patron in today's village of Durđic.A 16th-century fortress from the same settlement is the fortified St George's Church, not a castle. Gračina and Dvorišče are two properties that appear relatively late in docu¬ments, in the first half of the 16th century.
The paper ends with Tremec or Trema prop¬erty; the author points out that the ruins of a medieval sacral construction inside the present St Juliana's Church might be connected to the Holy Virgin's Church of unknown location, but men¬tioned in several documents.
