Chapel of the Wounded Jesus

The widow of Ladislav Plepelic from Pleso expressed her desire to build a votive chapel in honor of the Wounded Jesus in the field south of the village, and in 1758 the construction of the recognizable wooden beauty, the only one in the urban part of Velika Gorica, began. It is decorated with three altars, the main one dedicated to the Wounded Jesus, and two secondary ones – one dedicated to the Sorrowful Mother of God, and the other in honor of Jesus’ crowning with the crown of thorns. A bell housed in a wooden belfry once rang from it, but it disappeared in the 70s of the 20th century. The present appearance of the chapel was completed in 1896.

In addition to numerous decorative details, it is also decorated with a Way of the Cross carved in wood, made by Mato Mihinica, a naïve sculptor from Obrezina. At the beginning of the eighties of the last century, it served as the third parish church in the city of Velika Gorica, until the needs of the growing parish resulted in the construction of a new church and pastoral center and its renaming to the parish of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac in 2003.
