Virovitica Attractions

The small town of Virovitica is noteworthy for its Baroque church of St Rock (Sv Rok) and the Pejacevic Manor. The Church of St Roch contains some works by the sculptor Hozinger and the painter Gobler, who did some work on the interior. Note the ornate Baroque altar. The large Pejacevic Manor, built in the early 19th Century, is on the site of the old Wasserburg Castle. It now contains the Civic Museum (Gradski Muzej) with art and folklore displays, and an archeological collection.

The history of the town dates back over 1,000 years, and was originally known as Wereuche.
