Veliko Trojstvo

Set on the gentle slopes of Bilogora, roughly ten kilometres from Bjelovar, Veliko Trojstvo is shaped by vineyards, woodland and scattered farmsteads. Its main historic landmark is the protected Baroque Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1779 and closely associated with the village’s identity. Nearby, the Ethno Park at 28 Braće Radića Street recreates a traditional Bilogora farmyard, complete with a wooden house, barn, granary, bread oven, well and corn crib. A collection numbering more than a thousand objects illustrates rural crafts, household work and daily life in the countryside around Bjelovar. The Bilogora Tourist Route links Veliko Trojstvo with local vineyards, wooded hills and smaller sights, including the open-air wooden-sculpture gallery Svijetle pruge. This makes the village especially well suited to a half-day excursion or an unhurried drive along Bilogora’s country roads. Veliko Trojstvo also has a rail stop on the Bjelovar–Kloštar route, while the county bus network lists a dedicated Bjelovar–Veliko Trojstvo–Bjelovar service. Together, the ethnographic collection, the Baroque church and easy access from Bjelovar give the village a distinct Bilogora character.

Veliko Trojstvo is not a compact heritage town but a Bilogora village whose points of interest continue into the surrounding hills, vineyards and settlements of the municipality. The 1779 Church of the Holy Trinity provides a clear historic focal point, while the Ethno Park preserves the layout of a traditional holding with a wooden house, barn, granary and bread oven. The Bilogora Tourist Route adds another layer to the local identity by connecting rural heritage, wine-growing country and forest scenery. The Svijetle pruge open-air gallery translates that Bilogora setting into contemporary wooden sculpture. Because these sites are spread out, Veliko Trojstvo works best as a short route through the village and its immediate countryside.
