Church of all Saints

The small chapel with the bell tower is the Church of all Saints, located on the highest point of the hill of Obrš, on which lies part of the central city cemetery.

It was built in 1575 and served as the church for the area of Drenova. It was drawn in the Austrian maps as All Saints in 1748, and in 1778 as Chapel Sanctorum until the construction of the greater church of Our Lady of Carmel (Gospe Karmelske) in 1847.

Losing its original purpose, the church started to falling apart. In 1917 it remained without bells. But with the construction and opening of the new Central City Cemetery Drenova, the church was restored, appropriately blended into the new ambient and in use again.
