Sacral Gothic objects in Archdiocese of Dakovo-Osijek and Diocese of Srijem

This short review of sacral Gothic buildings in the territories of Archdiocese of Dakovo-Osijek and Diocese of Srijem clearly exhibits the richness of Gothic style in construction of sacral objects, in contrast to other styles which are abundant in these two dioceses. When naming 22 locations with Gothic buildings, it was my wish to write about each of them. They are all similar by their building style, but there are also differences which make them unique monuments of the times when they were built. The oldest church was mentioned as early as the end of the 13th century, and they date from then towards the end of the 15th century. It is important to note that all these buildings, or at least most of them, have not been preserved in their original forms. This is understandable, since the afore-mentioned territory has undergone through various conflicts and wars in the past few centuries. It is also important to state the fact that all these churches were built of full brick with beautiful Gothic details, which clearly shows the population had a rich religious life, in addition to their economic activities.
