The Cathedral of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Virgin Mary with Angels monument
-Kaptol 21
-The Zagreb Cathedral is the most monumental and the most impressive Gothic-style sacral building southeast of the Alps. Its ground plan, with slender cross-ribbed arches within three polygonal apses with narrow windows, resembles French architectural pattern (ex. the one in Troyes); the details of its subsequently added naves (of equal height) correspond to the building patterns of modern German architecture; imaginative sculptures, on the other hand, reflect the influence of Czech schools.
-All this indicates not only an early introduction of Gothic style to Croatia's north and internationalization of art but also the importance of Zagreb Bishopric and the status and power of its bishops in those days. From the very beginning, the cathedral was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, i.e. to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Feast of the Assumption). Although Hungarian King St. Stephen is always mentioned as the primary patron-saint, he is actually the second one.
- The cathedral was finished in 1217 and was consecrated by King Andrew II (1205 – 1235).
-After the cathedral had been reconstructed in the Neo-Gothic style, a fountain designed by Hermann Bollé was built in front of the cathedral.
