Kapela sv. Jurja u Samoboru

Kapela sv. Jurja u Samoboru, Religious chapel in Samobor, Croatia.

Kapela sv. Jurja is a single-nave rectangular chapel with a narrower rectangular sanctuary on the ridge of Tepec Hill above Samobor. It is built of rubble stone with dressed corner quoins, and a massive square tower with a pyramidal sheet-metal cap leans against the sanctuary's south wall. The nave has a Prussian vault and the sanctuary a barrel vault; the former main entrance on the west facade is walled up, so entry is through the north and south facades.

Built in 1622 on the ridge of Tepec Hill above Samobor, the chapel was rebuilt in 1746 and adapted and re-vaulted in the 19th century. It is a single-nave rectangular building with a narrower rectangular sanctuary and a massive square bell tower with a pyramidal metal roof against its south wall. Its long retention of medieval volume composition makes it a protected cultural good (Z-1462).

The chapel is dedicated to Saint George, the patron saint whose feast day on 23 April is observed by the Catholic Church. Its position on the Tepec ridge above Samobor ties it to the town's religious landscape, and the building is listed as protected sacral architectural heritage under register number Z-1462.

The site is accessible year-round, though spring through fall offer the most comfortable conditions for the hike up the hill. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the path can be steep and uneven in places.

The chapel kept a medieval approach to composing volumes long after the Renaissance: a single rectangular nave with a narrower rectangular sanctuary, a massive square tower against its south wall, and a pyramidal sheet-metal cap. The former main entrance on the west facade is walled up, so visitors enter through the north and south facades.
