History
A baroque parish church commissioned by Habsburg empress Maria Theresa in 1782 as a thanks-offering for the successful Christian reconquest of Baranja from the Ottomans. The church stands nearly alone on the Danube plain.
“Maria Theresa reportedly funded Topolje's church partly from the personal treasury of her son Joseph II — an unusual imperial gift to a rural parish.”
