Buzeta is a village in central Croatia, in the municipality/town of Glina, Sisak-Moslavina County. The village is located on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Buzeta is located at 156 meters above sea level and covers an area of 18.82 km2. [3]
History
[edit]The settlement of Buzeta was first mentioned in 1563. Around year 1600, the village was inhabited by Christian settlers of Eastern Orthodox faith.
Culture
[edit]The wooden Eastern Orthodox church, dedicated to St. Elijah, was built around 1720 in a location further into the forest, only to be transferred to its present location in 1740.[4] Major renovation work on the church was undertaken in 1849, the year carved under the conical roof of the shingle on the belfry. Iconostasis, which existed in the church of St. Elijah until 1995, was transferred from the church in Hajtić in the 19th century.[4] The church was damaged in the WW2. Its post-war reconstruction, supervised by the Conservation Institute in Zagreb, included restoration of the church foundations. The icons in the church included the icon of Saint Dimitry dating back to 1810, and icons of St. George and St. Eliah. The church of St. Elijah, which in many respects is the most valuable wooden Eastern Orthodox church in the region of Banija, was set on fire during the Croatian military operation Storm in early August 1995. According to the witness accounts, the church was burt down by the members of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[5][6]
