Under this name, this magnificent church is also known outside Hrvatsko Zagorje. The huge boulder of wooded Kunagora behind her does not make it too bulky for the observer, whether it be in a plain, or on top of a hill. Its construction took place at the very beginning of the 19th century. century, at the beginning of a new era announced by the French Revolution of 1789. The former parish church was in a very dilapidated condition and the parish had to build a new church, of course, with a lot of difficulty.

The church is 38 meters long and 19 meters wide. Built in the neoclassical style with a pronounced tendency towards a central building consistently executed symmetry. The facade of the church is dominated by two 45-meter high bell towers, a triangular gable with a fresco of the Assumption of the Mother of God, built during the renovation of the church in 1874-1876. The builder managed to give the church harmony inside and out, so it is an extremely suitable place for worship.

Over time, the church was repaired several times. Due to its dilapidation, a major intervention was made on it in 1873-1876. It was necessary to arrange the environment, repair the doors, windows, roof, cover the towers with tin, plaster the walls, redecorate the gable on the facade and paint the church.

The church is of course not a cathedral but it is really big.
