    Vinski Vrh is a hill half an hour's walk north of Marija Bistrica. Historical documents mention that in 1622.g. there was a wooden chapel with an altar and a bell in a wooden tower. In 1677, a new brick chapel with a brick sanctuary stood on this site, with a vaulted sanctuary and a flat ceiling above the nave. In 1695, the chapel had two doors, on the west and south sides, and an added vaulted sacristy on the north side. The ceiling of the nave was then painted, the bell hung on two pillars in front of the chapel door, and above the entrance was a wooden choir with pictures of the 12 apostles. Around 1715 in front of the main entrance, a tower was built of crushed stone, the roof of the chapel was covered with oak planks (shingles), and the floor was paved with stone slabs. In 1880, the chapel was destroyed by an earthquake. Major repairs after the earthquake included the construction of a new vault over the nave, connecting the sanctuary with strong iron clamps, and the construction of a new sacristy. The tower was built in 1913. covered with sheet metal, and the whole chapel was given a new covering. The complete renovation was completed in 1986.
