Dubrava: Hotels and Accommodation

Dubrava is located in Zagreb County on the border between Moslavina and Prigorje. The medieval episcopal town was surrounded by a wall with nine semicircular towers and contained a square-planned castle with four corner towers. In 1527, the Croatian Sabor met here and elected Ivan Zapolja as king.

Culture and History

The parish church of St. Margaret is a Gothic building from the late 15th century that was given a Baroque makeover in 1720. Its furnishings include a wooden high altar from 1918 with an altarpiece by the painter Ivan Tišov. The altar is considered a rare example of an altar created in the spirit of the Secession.

The Chapel of St. Martin also preserves historic architectural features. It was partially demolished in 1819; the present-day chapel was subsequently built. A Gothic triumphal arch, Gothic windows and Gothic frescoes depicting saints have been preserved.

Events

The 13th traditional motorcycle and cycling gathering began in Križevci, ended in Dubrava and Nova Kapela, and the vehicles were blessed in front of the Church of St. Margaret.

Another documented event was the Easter egg exhibition “Uskrs u Dubravi”. It took place on 8 April 2017 in the school and sports hall, was organised by the “Sveta Margareta” association and held under the patronage of the Municipality of Dubrava. The exhibition was attended by 54 exhibitors from six counties in central Croatia. Traditional Easter eggs from their regions were presented, along with eggs decorated using modern techniques.

DubravaFest is a recurring municipal festival. For 2024, the third edition is documented as having taken place from 7 to 9 June; for 2026, the festival was announced as part of the Days of the Municipality of Dubrava.
