Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
A Danube Marian shrine whose statue of Our Lady of Refuge was brought from Lug in 1704. The present church and returned devotion embody destruction, displacement, and rebuilding after the Croatian War of Independence without recasting those events as an apparition story.
