Vukovar in your hand

Church of Saint Roch

It is located in Županijska Ulica, the main street of Novi Vukovar (New Vukovar). The Church is harmoniously integrated into the castle complex Eltz, even though it was built nine years before the Castle and is not a part of the Castle. It was built with the donation of Antun Pöhr de Rosenthall in 1740 as a covenant (plague) chapel and at the same time as a filial church for German immigrants in that part of the city. Its distinguishing feature was the painting of Saint Rok, Saint Sebastijan, and Saint Rozalija, protectors from the plague, which was on the altar. The initial baroque corpus of the Church was expanded with a lateral oratory and vestry, and a picturesque bell tower with a shingle roof, during the classicist renovation in 1805. Later renovations were done in 1858 and 1904, and after World War II. The donor for the renovation after the Homeland War was the Šibenik-Knin County.
