Luka: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In the center of Luka, the new parish church of St. Roch was built after three years of consultations. The foundation stone was laid in 1860, and the church was completed in 1864. The parish church is a single-nave Gothic building and a neo-Gothic church. In 2004, it was registered as a regional cultural monument; the parish house stands next to it. St. Roch Church in Luka is considered one of the largest religious buildings in the Zaprešić area.

Festivals and Traditions

The “Posvetilo” festival dates back to the consecration of St. Roch Church on August 18, 1864, by Zagreb Bishop Josip Mihalović. After the consecration, the parish of St. Roch in Luka received the “Posvetila” festival. Pilgrims from the nearby area and further afield attend the “Posvetilo” festival.

The “Rokovski kjeden” event takes place in Luka on the occasion of the feast of St. Roch and the Rokovsko Posvetilo.
