Otrovanec: Hotels and Accommodations

Information about Otrovanec ranges from Baroque religious art and regional cuisine to the landscape of Bilogora.

Culture

Otrovanec is home to the well-preserved Chapel of Saint Helena. It was built in the 18th century, around 1769, and is designed in the Baroque style. Its fully restored main altar from the mid-18th century, probably dating from 1769, is considered one of the best-preserved Baroque altars in Podravina and the chapel’s greatest artistic and cultural asset. The altar depicts the saint in royal attire with a cloak and a crown; she holds a cross in her right hand and a royal sceptre in her left.

The settlement also preserves a Military Frontier building, the old school. It is one of only two surviving buildings of this type in the municipality of Pitomača. The 17th folklore gathering (“Susreti folklora”) also took place in Otrovanec. It was organised by the KUD “Marijan Pavleković Pajo” from Otrovanec; the event brought together numerous cultural associations and people interested in traditional culture. The “Zlatni klas” equestrian club in Otrovanec offers horse riding.
