The World War II memorial sculpture dedicated to the people of Moslavina during World War II seems abandoned and neglected, in the middle of nowhere it rises proud and alone, awesome tribute.

Really outstanding monument built in the 70s to commemorate the national liberation war (ww2). It's in pretty good shape, just some graffiti. It's about 1 hour from Zagreb. Space for parking on site. Looks like it's not really in use anymore. However it sits atop a hill overlooking the village and lake. It's definitely one of the best monuments to see in ex-Yugoslavia. Highly recommend a visit if you're into this stuff. Accurate location using Google Maps.

One of the most unique monuments from former Yugoslavia. The monument is at the top a hill, giving a beautiful view to the village. It also commemorates the fight and struggle to save the world from Nazism. The monument could be better maintained and it is definitely worth a visit.

Hidden and forgotten monument built in former Yugoslavia after the WWII. It is one of the many scattered along the ex-yu. Really impressive. In my opinion worth seeing and visiting.

I'm shocked that there's so little people who visit the monument. It's a short 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes drive to a little town east of Zagreb. Wonderful design, beautiful walkway and breathtaking view of the new nearby Villa Grac lake and area. If you have the time, highly recommended to visit and enjoy a few hours out there, can also grab a drink or lunch at Villa Grac down the road.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
