Abstract
The Chapel of the Holy Cross is situated on a hill in the vicinity of the village of Križ Gornji. Today it serves as a filial chapel of the Parish of the Holy Archangel Michael in Zrinski Topolovac, in the Diocese of Bjelovar-Križevci. The chapel is a single-nave, eastoriented structure built in brick, with a belfry adjoining its western façade and a sacristy along the northern wall of a square-planned chancel. The chapel was first mentioned in 1270. The earliest records on the chapel date from early 18th century, and the records of canonical visitations of the Zagreb Diocese often note its poor state throughout the 18th century. The structure was not subjected to extensive constructive interventions from its second medieval (Gothic) phase until 1889, when the church was statically reinforced and the belfry defined in its present form.
