Sisak Cathedral

Sisak Cathedral is a religious building in the city center featuring a single spire and a blend of neoclassical and Art Nouveau design elements. The structure anchors the urban landscape with its distinctive proportions and location on Ban Jelačić Square.

The original structure was completed in 1765 with Baroque characteristics. Following the 1909 earthquake, it received its present appearance with neoclassical and Art Nouveau features.

The building serves as the main religious center for over 163,000 Catholics in the Diocese of Sisak, established by Pope Benedict XVI in December 2009.

The building is currently closed to visitors due to significant damage sustained in the 2020 earthquake. Check for updates on accessibility before planning a visit.

The building has survived multiple severe earthquakes over centuries and been rebuilt after each event. This pattern of recovery reflects its importance to the community across generations.
