COLLECTION OF LITURGICAL TEXTILE FROM THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN IN MARTIJANEC THE PREVENTIVE CONSERVATION PROGRAMME

Summary/Abstract: The Parish church of St. Martin in Martijanec was mentioned for the first time in the document of the Zagreb diocese in 1334. A part of the protected inventory of the church is a collection of liturgical textile consisting of three parts from the following churches: St. Martin in Martijanec, St. Benedict in Hrastovljan and St. Cross in Križovljan. The collection is protected by law as Croatian cultural heritage due to its valuable and rare historic tissue imported from various European manufactures especially for that purpose. The tissue was mainly imported from Austria or Germany during the 19th century and only a few samples can be dated in the late 18th century. Historic textile from the Parish church of St. Martin in Martijanec and the other two chapels was out of use and neglected as it had been inadequately stored in old wooden wardrobes and exposed to dust, humidity and insects. The most valuable samples of historic textile were collected and exposed as a part of the Exhibition of Sacral Art in the Chapel of St. Cross at the Batthyany Castle in Ludbreg.
