Abstract
The topic of this paper is a study of the architectural stratification
of the medieval Hospitaller chapel in Pakrac. The chapel is
preserved in the archaeological layer. During perennial archaeological
research, started in 2017, two medieval architectural
layers have been confirmed: the Hospitaller chapel and a later
fortified church. The Hospitaller chapel was a one-aisled church
with a rectangular sanctuary as wide as the church (Saalkirche
type of church), which was, during the second medieval architectural
layer, fortified. Various stone fragments were found in
situ and in debris, and their stylistic and architectural analysis,
as well as their comparison with similar examples of architectural
sculpture, has confirmed the existence of two medieval
layers of the Pakrac church and, also, allowed for a partial reconstruction
of the layout of the original Hospitaller chapel and
the later fortified church.
