History
The wooden chapel of St. Barbara in Velika Mlaka is Turopolje's most photographed folk-baroque church — hand-hewn oak beams, a shingle roof and an interior painted with 17th-century biblical scenes on rough-sawn planks. It's a rare intact witness to a whole vanished landscape of wooden villages.
“The floor is made from a single layer of oak boards laid directly on beaten earth.”
