Reviews
The nice baroque church of St. Michael the Archangel in Žminj was built on the site of the older church of the same name, which was located in the middle of the feudal fortress from the XV. century, the so-called Castle, of which only the south wing and the southeast tower have survived. The existing church of St. Michael the Archangel was built at the end of the first third of the XVII. and upgraded in the XVIII. century, and the wall of the Žminj castle was used for its side facade. The facade of the church was completed in 1717, as the facades of the church in Kranjska, is decorated with statues of saints in niches. In the right niche is a statue of St. Roko, and in the left the statue of St. Sebastian. In the central niche is a sculpture of St. Michael, the titular of the church and the patron saint of the town of Žminj. In the church there are paintings by Z. Ventura "The Mother of God with Saints" and "Appearance in the Temple" (beginning of the 17th century), wood carved "Adoration of the Shepherds" from 1690, Gothic Crucifixion (second half of the 14th century).
One of less known churches in Istra with a great history dedicated to archangel Michael. You should really visit it and admire it's fantastic facade with some intriguing statues. You can admire its medieval architecture by taking a walk around the church itself. Nearby there is a small park where some shade is offered.
