Sažetak
The collapse of the west façade of the chapel of the Holy Trinity in Brinje in 1963 was followed by the comprehensive campaign of construction repair and presentation of the chapel, finalized in 2009. The chapel was annexed to the existing core of the feudal town by Nikola IV Frankopan, after marrying Dorothea, the daughter of the Hungarian palatine Nicholas Garay, in 1416. It is the only Gothic two-storey court chapel in inland Croatia with the only preserved stone matroneum and two late-Gothic polychrome sculptures incorporated in Baroque altars, a Madonna with Child in pear wood and a Pietà carved in soft sandstone. The monumentality of the chapel, its pronounced verticality, specific plan and elevation as well as numerous details of architectural decoration of high-quality design and carving distinguish the chapel of the Holy Trinity in Brinje as the most beautiful and prime-quality example of late-Gothic architecture in the medieval kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia.
